HEAT WAVE - UPDATE

It hit 108 and is cooling off right now - 6:49pm.

The mister worked perfectly and it the chickens never had that gaspy - chokey look... I guess we'll call it panting.

I tried to dig the water line for the automatic feeder, but it was too hot. I will try tomorrow.

Need to feed the family now and BBQ...

HEAT WAVE - Chicken Mister

Well, had no idea we were traveling to the surface of the sun today. The temperature is 95 in the shade and expected to hit 100+. We are in drought conditions here in the West and are not suppose to be wasting water... So, it was a choice between water or chickens, chickens or water...so I flipped my 1750 two-sided chicken coin and well, it came up chickens. So, I ran down to ACE and bought a mister. Hooked it up and mounted it to the coop. Chickens should be feeling about 15 degrees cooler.
