Gallinarium
Crowing
So it's getting up to eighty-something for the next two days here, and I was wondering: is there anything I should do to try and keep my pullets cool? And if so, what? The chickies are all heat-tolorant breeds, Leghorn, Minorca, etc, but I'm not sure that matters at exactly six weeks old. The hen, on the other hand, is a big fat crossbreed similar to an Orpington. But if worst comes to worse for her, I'll torture her with another bath . She needs one anyway, and it's a good day for it. The chicks are being brooded by previously mentioned hen in a coop that gets pretty hot, but they have full access to a secure, covered, shaded run. With my older birds I used a paint pan as a wading pool, and hosed the outside of the coop. And I obviously need to make sure they always have fresh water, that's number one.
So yeah, thanks for reading!
