Beating the Heat
The dog days of summer are here! Here are three tips for keeping chickens happy and healthy in the heat of the summer:
1. Watermelons rule! Keep watermelon slices in the fridge, and give them to your flock during the hottest part of the day. They'll gobble it up, and it will lower their body temperature immediately.
2. Ice helps, of course! Add chunks of ice to your flock's water during the day. They'll love you for it.
3. Yes, it's possible to keep your coop sweet-smelling, even in the hottest, most humid weather.
Thanks to my pet chicken for these handy tips!
