Be careful with ice water and animals, if they drink too much too fast it can make them sick....especially dogs.Freeze water in 16 oz bottles for a day then cut the plastic away from the ice. We have a similar waterer and thats what we will be doing. We also use them in our dog bowls when they're outside.
Miami has had scorchers the past few days.
Had an irrigation issue for three days, now the grass is brown.
The aviary is shaded by 16 foot banana plants and a mango tree.
If it remains this hot I may set up a mister system for the hens. Has anyone tried a mister and does it help the chicks ?
It depends on where you live. I'm in the desert where it gets up to 120 and is BONE dry. So a mister system is the only way to go.I don't like the idea of misters because, while the immediate effect may be some cooling, ultimately you're adding humidity to the heat. And, having grown up in a river valley, I know that that's the wrong way to go in the long run.
