@@nancytroiano2280 Any woman that would put up with a mans obsession with fancy chickens is a great woman! My wife is the best, she does not take it personal if I give all my attention to my birds. I love her dearly, but spend more time with the birds than her! I admit it! One day I will have to make it up to her big time!
Missouri here, the humidity is awful in the summer. Fans, shade and fresh clean cool water is a must. I have black silkies so they can get really hot. Keeping the air moving helps more then anything. July and August is the worst here. Cool treats help also, watermelon and cucumbers. They have high water content. Other then putting in air conditioners that is about all yiu can do. Best of luck.
Kenny, what are your thoughts about instead of spraying disinfectants that kill all bacteria in the surroundings, what if we spray probiotics? The concept is to spread soldiers that fight bad bacteria. what do you think?
