Dehydrated?

[wamtazlady]

And they actually like it??

On a hot day when they go for a drink you'll find them standing in the water so they must like it. Have to clean it daily as they do poo in the water.

My ladies don't like it. But the best way to keep them cool and hydrated is to give them cold watermelon. They loooove it !
