Keep chickens cool by providing clean water, good ventilation, and proper shade during hot weather. Feed in cooler hours and add electrolytes or vitamin C to water to reduce heat stress.

Keep them well ventilated and introduce ice in their drinking water, as well as avoid over crowding of the birds

Ensure <strong data-start=”293″ data-end=”316″>strong air movement inside the shed.
Use <strong data-start=”342″ data-end=”358″>exhaust fans or <strong data-start=”362″ data-end=”384″>tunnel ventilation to remove hot air.
Keep <strong data-start=”413″ data-end=”432″>air inlets open for proper circulation.
Avoid blocking airflow with feed bags or equipment.

To keep chickens cool during extreme heat, provide ample shade, ensure excellent ventilation with fans if possible, and offer constant access to cool, fresh water with ice. Supplement these measures by misting the coop area, providing moist dirt for dust baths, and feeding cooling treats like frozen fruits or vegetables while limiting protein-rich feed
