Chickassan, do you recommend a little pool? Can you post a photo of yours? I was nervous about moisture attracting flies, so much so that I've got a chicken nipple watering system planned to avoid spilled water. Their run has a completely shaded area at the back, which only gets early morning sun, but it does get really hot here in the summers, even in the shade. In excess of 100 every July, August, September, and now even October, and getting worse each year, it seems. I looked up the favs, and oh my gosh they are adorable! I'm a little worried about the pecking order if I had more than one breed. Any insights there? Right now I'm wondering about mixing up Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks. I'm mostly nervous about chickens fighting each other!They handle heat better than you'd think. Like any other ones if they've got shade and a little pool to dip in they're o.k. This is dealing with S.C summers where temps over 100f are pretty common. Your fav bites fingers? That is funny.![]()
