how are you beating the heatwave

[brybellchicks]

I invested about 20 bucks in reuseable blue ice blocks for my girls

I put one frozen one in each waterer every morning and keep extras in the freezer I switch them out around 1pm and its been keeping their water cool

same for the rabbits and goats .......what are you doing to help your "babies" this summer ....it was 107 here in Ar today............................

Here is a really good thread with lots of ideas on how to help with the heat:

I just use frozen 2 liter and 20 oz. water bottles but I bet those reusable ice blocks will be worth the $ in the long run. After a few uses, the plastic bottles tend to crack and leak.
