Very good Tipps, very thorough presented. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good tips! Our local dollar tree has plastic cat litter boxes for $1.25. They're about the same size as those disposable aluminum roasting pans and would likely last a little longer.
That's a great idea! Thank you for your suggestion.
I like the cool rock in pan idea.
My girls get an ice block each afternoon in the summer. They take turns standing on it to cool off. I use an old tupperware that's about 12x5x3 inches. They love it!
That is wonderful! Sounds like a refreshing and cool treat for your flock.
That was a really well done video. Thank you so much, I subscribed!😊
I'm really glad you found it helpful. Thank you for supporting the channel!

Great tips, as it is already in the 90’s in Kentucky I am using your tips. Just bought an old cooler today. Can I put a box fan in my coop to keep my chickens cool?
You can use a fan in your coop, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The fan should not be positioned in such a way that it is blowing directly on your chickens. Using a fan in the coop can blow harmful dust and particulates onto your chickens, so it is important it is not blowing air directly on them. If you use a fan in your coop, if possible, acquire one meant for outdoor or livestock use as a regular box fan will last for a while but will eventually fail due to the dust that will accumulate inside it. Any fan will need to be removed and cleaned regularly. If you are using a fan in the coop, it can be secured to the ceiling or placed high near a vent and facing outward so it is evacuating hot air and dust and blowing it away from your chickens, not toward them. Again, I want to stress it is important it is not blowing directly on your chickens and that if you’re using one at ground level in any of their areas it is placed in such a way they can escape it and only use it when they wish to. Options are always good. Be mindful of the placement of any electrical chords around animals because they can be a trip hazard and some chickens may peck the chord itself so they will need to be inspected regularly and used in a safe and conscious manner. Thank you for your question!
@@ChuckTheRooster thank you for you answer & explanation. I’m in an area that is listed as extremely hot this summer so I am worried about my chicks. Today temperature is 94 & with humidity it will feel like 100
@@Crusher14 I'm glad the information is helpful. I will be using all of these tips too as we are expecting a heat wave in our region as well. It is great you are taking such great care of your flock. I'm certain they appreciate your extra attention to their comfort. Plenty of water, shade, and the other options I mention in the video too will be helpful and keep them comfortable this summer.
