So the hot weather is coming early.. We're looking at almost 40C this week, and its technically not even summer yet..
What does everyone do for the hot weather?
So Far--
I've found their favourite shady spots and put out extra water dishes. Occasionally throw in an icecube to keep it cool.
And thats really all I've done
The coop has ventilation along the top to let hot air out. It's homemade and has a few gaps here and there that lets the air flow.
Now they have about 4 different water dishes in various places
I take snacks out to them in the shade (cucumber peels, bits of tomato) to make sure they're getting a bit to eat while they flop in the shade.
What else can/should I do??
