I was just wondering how people keep their chickens cool during extreme summer heat. This will be our 2nd summer and I think we did ok but after some other ideas.
last year I gave them frozen water down juice blocks filled with veggies. They didnt really like it.
I freeze their water containers full and give 1 before work and then 1 when I return. They last about an hour before being fully melted.
I've been thinking if I put a kids pool with some water they might play in it? Also going to put misty sprinklers around the run (they do not like the hose or big sprinkler) to help cool it down.
They have a heap of shade throughout the day but they do get quite hot.
Any ideas would be great
