It was hot and soooo humid yesterday, so I made puddles of water for Charlie and the girls to cool off in:
 |
| Charlie had dibs on the first puddle |
 |
| Shirley, Laverne and Lucy share the 2nd one |
 |
| Lucy bit Laverne, so she moved over to where Charlie was |
 |
| Lucy drinking the poopy water...sigh |
 |
| Lucy cooling off her tootsies |
 |
| Laverne picking out the new feathers on Charlie's neck...again |
 |
| Look how innocent Laverne looks - right after Charlie bit her! |
Remember to always have plenty of fresh, cool water available. Chickens can usually tolerate the heat but not humidity. If you see them walking around with their mouths open, wings being held away from their body, they are trying to cool down. If they are free ranged during the day, place extra containers of water around for them.
