Chickens in the heat

[catjac1975]

I always wonder why they stood in the water to drink!

Yep... totally hot here today too. I went out and hosed down their run and got it nice and muddy. Chickens release excess heat through their wattles, combs and feet since they don't sweat. So keep their feet cool and they'll be fine. Even though its really messy!

I just hosed down the run for my girls, I was getting the edges of the run and they went to the other side of the run to get away from the water hose, but I sprayed it anyway.... they would just stand there.... lol
