Just got our first chickens and am binge watching videos for tips on keeping chickens. This was by far the most informative video I have come across. Thank you so much for sharing every thing you know!!!!!

Chickens are very under appreciated by humans. They are quite sensitive and amazing beings.

I picked up a few cake pans from the dollar store and I freeze water in them. Sometimes I put a little electrolyte powder in it or sometimes some watermelon chunks just different various vegetables or fruit or powdered vitamins and just let it slowly melt during those hot days sometimes they like to stand on it to coolwhile it’s still a block of ice, but they enjoy it as well to try to get the watermelon out

I see those familiar rock walls of the desert southwest...and the rocks alongside the sidewalk for xeriscaping! Used to live in West Texas ... for many decades and still have family there. The potential for high heat that runs day after day after week is not funny. Thanks for sharing these great tips. . Also saw another KZbinr who recommends placing water in a large insulated jug ... Like you see at construction sites .. with an added water nipple for the chickens to access the water, and always include ice in the water to maintain cold temps all day.

Thank you - Great idea with the insulated jug cause chickens will NOT drink warm water on hot days. Even tho it looks like they have lots of clean water if they are not drinking it refresh it & add big blocks of ice if you don’t have an insulated cooler set up.

Peas are bad for chickens in the summer. To high in sugar causing heat. Only in the winter

Thank you for providing some tips I have never seen before! I live in TX and it was 90 yesterday and I was really worried about the girls. I love the idea of the frozen jugs to put in their run and coop. I am going to try that buttermilk recipe for sure. I also never thought of digging a better hole for them. Great video!

I had one die today at 91°. The heat index was 100. She had been pouting in the coop. I put a skirt on her because the mail was tearing all of her feathers out and she had a large bare patch. I feel bad for putting it on her, but I didn't think she was in any danger. The Broody hen who was hanging out with her was fine, I think because she was going outside to drink from the water. It didn't seem like the one that died was dehydrated, but she was not going outside for very long periods where it was cooler. The other one was hanging outside more even though she was brooding. From now on, instead of putting a skirt on them, I will separate them from the male.

Don’t blame yourself, she might have been avoiding the rooster or she might have had health issues. Our chickens have been lost to no apparent cause & some live super long lives. We have a hen who is 9+ & still lays once in a while.

Good job girlie thank you so so much for the information we just got for chickens 2 months ago and then another four chickens two weeks ago so we’re going to be introducing the two flock together as soon as the small ones can go outside and that’s gonna be right around summertime when it’s super hot outside I didn’t know if I was going to need to bring all eight chickens in the house lol or what I should do so this video is super helpful. Thank you so much.

NIce! Good ideas, except for the salt. Chickens dont sweat and salt can build up in the kidneys. Check with a vet before adding things to any to an animals diet. There's a reason feed makers have spend billions of dollars figuring out how to keep livestock productive and healthy through nutrition specific to each species.
