    This summer I switched from a gravity type misting system to a misting fan. It works a lot better by cooling the air through evaporative cooling. It takes the air temperature down by about 10 degrees. The girls love it. I also added a portable swamp cooler to the coop to run at night when they go to roost. The coop interior has been around 100 degrees at 9:30 at night. Brutal. The swamp cooler drops the temperature down about 10 degrees inside. Plus the fan blows the length of the coop and provides some ventilation.

    Love you, Sara! I go out a couple of times a day when it’s really hot and spray the water hose in the shaded areas and underneath the bushes so they have that to walk-through to stay cool. Great video!🙏❤️

    I live in Fl. and it's been real hot here. This summer I go out twice a day and water down all the shaded areas the chicken lay in. Bought mister but have not put up yet. Was worried about hanging them up high due to not really cooling the place down. Your idea about laying them on the ground makes way more sense too me. Thanks

      Also - thanks for your advice on the misters. I just bought a set. I'm south of you, on the coast. It's brutal. I lost a couple of chickens this summer, too.

      Oh my gosh I’m sorry. My parents live in Corpus and while it’s not quite as hot, it’s humid as hell! And sometimes that’s worse. ✌🏻❤️🐓 Here for you!

    SSAAMMEE!! So I read early on they regulate heat through their legs so I have the misters, but the nozzles are at their waist height pointed at the ground to spray downward. I'm on a well and I can't let the system run open on a timer because the pressure could cause damage so with the misters I run it half hour before above 95 and a half hour after 95 and depending on the span maybe between. The nozzles are basically drip nozzles at this point. I noticed my girls LOVED the dripping nozzles more and just let them get clogged. OMG I'm so glad my auto pilot did a good😂😂😂

    I am in North Texas! I love the idea of the soaker hose. I have bought 3 sets of mister's this year and they have all crapped out on me!

      YEA ugh that’s the other thing. Between the heat and squirrels and crappy quality, a lot of them won’t last longer than a season! ✌🏻❤️🐓
