HAHAHAHA I just went outside and saw that my two boys had decided our south Ga heat was just too much so they decided to " chill out " in the duck pool. lol

Sorry the pic is so small, I dont know why, I didnt downsize it and I tried it twice and it came out the same way.

I give my birds a pool to wade around in when it's hot, but dang, I wish they wouldn't defecate in it! After an hour or two it becomes a cesspool. You definately need to dump the water and replace often, or it could become a breeding ground for disease. One of my hens would get in and within minutes lay an egg in the water. Must be very stimulating!

The heat has been awful, my poor birds stay under a tree all day panting....thats when they arent pushing each other off of the pipe to to center air unit that goes into the house, that pipe stays ICE cold!
