Run/Pen Misting Systems for hotter climates.

[tri-5-ron]

Hi all,
I'd like to here your feedback on Misting Systems used in your pens/runs to keep your flocks cooled in summer heat.
Pics would be great too.

I have 3 seperate systems that were removed from a friends house back patio, and am thinking it could be a good idea to install in my pen for the hot So. Cal. summers.
I'd like to see some of your set-ups, in reguards to size of yor runs, and placement of your misters.

Heck, I've got so many mister heads, that I could turn the run into a San Francisco fog bank, if I wanted to ! LOL!

show me what you've done with yours,
Thanks

Type "Hot weather" or "High temperature" into the search box. Good ideas for misters use in runs and other ideas to keep chickens cool:

Frozen watermelon
ice in waterers
kitty litter box of water for a wading pool
misters
SHADE, SHADE, SHADE
open air ventilation
frozen milk jugs or 2-liter bottles (even in the nest boxes)

That sounds great.
