Taking Care of My Chickens in the Texas Heat

- This has been one off the hottest summers we've ever experienced! We went from winter straight to summer - and it's been miserable. I'm working hard to keep my birds comfortable and happy, and it's not easy! In this video I show how I'm doing it. We're so ready for FALL!
We live in southern Austin county, about 30 mins north of I10. Luckly, we have our coop (was an old building when we bought to place) surrounded 3 BIG oaks that help shade it fairly well...but you know hot is hot with 98% humidity!
Brilliant idea !
So happy to find another Texan that loves chickens. We are in North central Texas. Started a new flock this year, now we're stressing on summer coming
I have a friend that built a coop for his chickens. We do construction, so he went all out and spent thousands - it matches the paint and trim of his own house, with dual paned windows and everything, it was impressive.
Ive also head of someone converting a broke down old vw van into a coop
I love the van idea!!
Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who cleans like you. And I do exactly the same things you do for your flock. I live in the panhandle of Fl. and it gets hot her too was worried about my chickens. Put sun sails up as well. 🙏
So nice to see how you take care of your chickens 🐓❄️🐔👍💕
Thank you! 😊
All that poop water is pure gold for your garden. don't waist it.
Thanks for the great idea!
This was very informative and thank you for sharing this. I just got some chickens, and I am in New Mexico. It does get warm here. I love the igloo waterer. Such an awesome idea. Have a great day.
Adorable!!!! So great!!!! Luckiest chickens in the world!!!!
Thank you! 😄 They're pretty spoiled!
There was no helping my chickens in that heat last year. 5 of them died in one day when that heat came in suddenly. They were all under total shade. Then a dog killed the other 4 that made it through the heat. It was so sad.
Wow, thanks to you, I enjoyed watching... I'm proud of you for developing day by day.
Thank you!
Your shovel sifter thingy is amazing ! Where did you get it ? Also, I'm curious how the shade cloth held up ? I'm hoping it didn't tear or anything as I would like to do something similar
PS love the ice chest waterer!
Amazon - The Brand is Birsppy - It's called a mud/sifting square shovel
@@ranchlife5050do you also have a link to where you bought your solar cloth? I am having trouble finding it..thank you
@@cindyhebberd7352 We got it at Home Depot. Here's the link (I'm pretty sure this is the exact kind) www.homedepot.com/p/Vigoro-6-ft-x-50-ft-Almond-Sun-Shade-Fabric-TSS0650/313769178#overlay

maşallah zevkle izledim çok güzel bir uğraş ve ayrıca gösterilen temizlik ve intizama imrendim. tebrik ederim olması lazım gereken de bu olsa gerek. ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!😊
What did you use to clip the cloth together??
The storage bin you have outside, what is it called? Where are they sold?
Can't remember exactly what it's called, but I got it at a store called Home Base, which is kind of like a small Home Depot or Lowe's. It was in the garden section.
No one can say you folks don't care about your chickens!
They’re my babies! 😄
You put a metal roof on the coop. Bet that bad boy radiates some heat.
It's a lot cooler inside the coop, believe it or not, even with the metal roof.
curious, where did you find a shovel like that, I have never seen one before?

Hi
Do you get hawks, racoons, or Comanche?
We get raccoons and we see an occasional fox.
Those are some.exoensive eggs
Definitely!
We call them egg-spensive around here! 😉
