With another hot weekend coming up we need to be a bit aware of the options our chickens have to stay cool.
Chicken coops should be under shade and well ventilated or at least parts of their run area well shaded. If they free-range the back yard they will often find themselves a cool spot and dig a hole and sit in the cooler ground.
Make sure they have plenty of fresh cool water available at all times but be sure to top up in late afternoon/early evening as they may not drink alot during the hottest parts of day then heed a big drink before going to bed.
Some people make ice treats for their chickens, this is lovely but not necessary if you dont have time.
Important DO NOT Wet them by submerging in a bucket or hosing them. This causes their festher to stick together and their skin and chickens stay cool by spreading their wings and fluffing feather to insulate and regulate their bodyvtemperature. Often a misting system on the coop or a fine sprinker near the cool helps cool the area down.

Like us they may seem a bit lethargic the following day you can offer some electrolyte water and again just making sure fresh water and feed available the following days to help them recover.
Some chickens if they get too hot may not lay eggs or lay strange shape egg but normally get back to normal after a day or so.
