BYC Café

I put tarps over the two ends on my run for my chickens. It really kept them cooler and I had a kiddie pool for their water in the shade from the tarp so it kept the water pretty cool as well. In Alabama the temps go over 100 from July thru Sept. So I also would turn the sprinkler on while it sat on top of the runs for them to cool off in.

I plan on putting the sun shade back up this weekend. I have one that is for covering dog runs. It blocks the sun but still allows for sir flow

Morning Cafe!

Thanks for the cup of Joe, Debby.

Turned the AC on last night for the 1st time this year. I normally keep the house at 80° year round. Got up to 85° inside, George was starting to pant, so time to turn it on

Thunderstorms here today, could be sever, Gee, did this page just shake? Lighting just struck a tree about 100ft away. Getting off of here for a bit. Have a great day, all.

The Gable fan is working great so far! The upstairs is much cooler now and I did not have to run the AC yesterday

Our runs were made of open welded wire so they needed shade and some where to be outside when it rains. I also had the food and water under the tarp so they had to go outside to eat and drink and they loved laying around in the shade dust bathing.

Tarps are great for giving them shade. Here we sometimes get dead wind days in the summer which requires plenty of ventilation.

Snowed yesterday morning... lots of rain right now.

I love that heat ... but I don't like the house getting struck by lightning

I was like that too when I worked nights.

What kind of work do you do Sean?

I'm in Environmental Consulting, I monitor air, water and waste at various facilities. Sometimes I have to work during "peak load" hours!

All great ideas, thanks! I was thinking possibly shade cloth but idk.

Plenty of fresh water. But gets dirty and hot fast. I gotta go back to the bucket.





You keep it at 80!? I would sweat haha even 60 I get hot. My parents like to keep it between 62 and 68. I like it OFF lol



That's a great idea thanks

It's a holdover from when I had parrots.
