Sit'n on the porch

[Grandmas Coop]

The Coop is Closed until 9pm​

I shut the door, it is 101 in there again at 3pm- I had to push the chicks out.
I set the young chicks up by the run gate in the shady and it is 10 degrees cooler than the coop. I have been going out every 45 min to check on them.

Good move pushing them out of the coop. That is just too hot.

Can you put ice in their water?

Can you put ice in their water?

I would melt fast, I just went out, dumped the days water and filled with cold water, then I , from the run gate, sprayed the tree trunk which made splash/mist- sprayed the far east side, I didnt get where the big hens were standing wet I didnt want them to run and over exert themselves- it is 98 in the run, the chicks liked the coolness from the water when I was done and they are not panting.

I'll go out at 4 and do it again
