In the Brooder
This week has been horribly hot in Kansas - 105 - 107. I'm a newbie with 9 week old chicks. I've been happy with giving them fresh electrolyte water every day and making them mud puddles with cold water (which of course warms up quickly). Seems to be doing the trick. They are still hot in the afternoon but not health threatening hot. I tried giving them a cold cucumber treat but it seemed to cause diarrhea so I stopped that. Maybe they're too young yet for cucumber? Just my two cents!
