Hello,
I have a flock of six hens that are just over a year old. Our area has a heat watch for 107 and up over the next 3-4 days. My family and I have planned to go to the beach this weekend. We have someone who is going to come by our house once a day to do daily care. I saw ways to make DIY a/c units, but they all require ice that needs to be renewed every once in a while.
Does anyone know ways to keep chickens cool for a long time? Preferable quick to make so that is can be set up before we need to go to the beach, but me and my mom are willing to put in any amount of work to get it done in time.
Is there a way to make the ice last for a longer time or any other way so that is could cool for 10 hours with no filling except for at the beginning?
Thank you so much,
Emerson
