Hot summers can be very stressful (and sometimes fatal) for chickens. 1. Provide shade for their coop and run 2. Install a mister set to a timer that goes off every afternoon 3. Give chickens watermelon, cantaloupe, and other foods to help keep them hydrated 4. Provide access to clean, cool water 5. Chickens cool off through their feet - provide water to stand in and change it daily. Note: There is no substitute for attention. If you will be out of town during the summer, have someone put eyes on your chickens at least once a day. They can ensure water levels are full, timers are working, and your flock is healthy. #gardeningtips #hotsummergardentip #chickentip #flock #hotsummers #gardeningtips
