Hello!
I have some English Orpington chicks that are growing very quickly. I know that Orps are very cold-tolerant, which also makes them very non heat-tolerant. In the summer where I am it gets very hot, around 85-90 mid summer and occasionally up to 100 degrees. I’m not worried about them yet but I want to be prepared for when they grow up, is there anything I can do to keep them cool? Other than shade, dust bath and water?
Also I don’t know if this is in the right forum so any suggestions on where to move it would be appreciated as well.
