Water spray fountain for chickens

[Saaniya]

Misters or water sprayers don't do much good in a humid climate.
Can you get some poultry electrolytes?
It really helps here during heat waves, I give a dose every few days when it's really hot.

Yes I'm gonna buy this week .I try to make it but I think ready made veterinary purpose electrolyte is far best ..
I'm really worried as this is the first summer of my rooster and I'm in Delhi where climet is too much in summer like a desert. Just tell me how many times I can give nd how often

Whenever they were out we turn on the water spray ..it sprinkle water like lite raining feeling both of my roosters seems running in rain . and they didn't show heat stress will do this thing till summers I want to ask our BYC people is it okay

I used a nozzle hanging on a fence last summer on really hot days under a shade tree. . Took chickens about a half hour to realize the benefits of hanging out under a mist the first time. . GC

I am here in the US and I do live in the desert. I ran a misting system in the far end of my chickens run for the past 2 summers when the temperatures went up over 100F. I don't free range my chickens here because of the coyotes, hawks, and dogs who's owners cannot seem to keep them at home. When it's hot out the chickens need lots of water for drinking, as like humans they will need to stay hydrated. They also need shade to help them to stay cooler. You can fill some plastic bottles full of water and freeze them to put the frozen water bottle in the water pan that they will drink from.

Yes I put some small colorful bowls (they like to drink in colorful bowls) everywhere where they wandering .

Also I'm giving them chilled water which they loving it to drink

All kind of fruits like melon , cantaloupe , watermelon , yoghurt mix with grapes and frozen pomegranate and fresh corn .

They seems liking it in the morning when its 23-24C but once in the afternoon temperature run to 37-39C they holding their wings out of body sometimes beak open so I turn on they sprayer till they are wet they seems calm once they dry again they hold wings out .

In night I put a revolving fan near their box in full speed . and a lite spray on their wings so they sleep otherwise whenever I wake up and check them they were standing .

I'm also trying to set a air conditioning cooler fan In may .b

Here summer lasts till September .
April to July months are very hot .

When I got them as chicks it was June but they were tiny that time they didn't show any heat stress . even they seems so cool maybe they feeling heat cause they are fully covers with their heavy feathers
