After several years of having a flock I find this year particularly heat challenging. So what are you doing to beat the heat?
1. I am juicing Swiss chard and adding it to the water supply. Chard is super high in potassium for proper cell balance
2 I added 1 fan on the end of the greenhouse for in air and another on the other end for out air.
3. I raised the bottoms of the greenhouse for cross ventilation.
4. I added a 8' x 30' run of landscape fabric that I mounted from the top of my fence on a diagonal towards the ground (like a shed roof) for more shade. They are lovin' that!
I feel so bad for my hens! I am half naked roasting and they have feather coats on!!!!
