Hi all , we have had a heat wave for about 2 weeks with temps all the way up to 106 degrees. It's awful. My chicken coop and yard is completely shaded for them and there is a breeze today but I was wondering besides ice water is there anything yall recommend for them? Should I bring a bowl of water and dip their feet in it for a minute? Maybe that would feel nice on their tummies. I don't know. My chickens are all about 5 months old now. I LOVE them dearly and hold them daily. I have about 23 of them in different breeds. They like to burrow down into dirt holes they make and dust themselves of course. None of them look unhealthy or struggling in any way. I just feel sorry for them in this heat. I give them fruit cocktail daily along with their starter feed still. None of them are laying yet but probably should start soon. Let me know if yall have any good methods to cool off my birds. I had thought of a baby plastic pool with a couple inches of water but don't know if they'd get in it or hate it. Julie
