Coop question

WE have an automatic waterer for the girls. We used to have a fish pond in that area and it was an autofill so DH just made it for the waterer.

The only issue I noticed in the summer here, the water is hot coming out of the pipe. This is our first summer with the girls. I put a 6 quart (pink) bucket with ice under their "patio" and it stays pretty cold throughout the day. Otherwise, haven't had any problems. I also have a gallon waterer in their coop along with some food.

Our girls are spoiled. DH made a mister for their run and installed an A/C unit in their coop. The girls are getting smart and I find them in the cool coop during the day. Also installed a web cam so we can watch the girls while we are at work. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/chick-coop-cam

I should live so good!

Very nice set up you have for your chickens, Mama Hen Chris!

I love your mural! My daughter will soon be painting a mural inside our coop too. I think its wonderful that you have a/c in your coop, it gets wicked hot where you live

We should do what we are able to ensure our critters are comfortable and well cared for. Your hens are very fortunate to have you

Thanks!

Gotta take care of the girls for sure. My coop is named the Cluck on Inn and of course you have to have curtains. My girls love their privacy when laying eggs. You should have heard the growling and screaming prior to the curtains. Can rent you the old one at a good price.

Can you take the AZ heat though?

Thank you Chicka.


I want to paint a mural in the coop. I was thinking daisies on the wall and maybe pics of my girls. Would love to see what your daughter paints.

It sure does get hot here. I hear we may get to 122 this summer. I have read on the AZ thread that so many people are losing their chickens to the heat. I want to make sure my girls are just as comfy as myself. Now if I could see if my chickens will swim in our pool!!!! My daughter want to put one in and see. I surely do not want to stress them by doing that.
