I'll start a thread with pics, because I do not know which are easter eggers, and which are olive eggers. Not sure if they can be differentiated, but if anyone can help, it will be the members here! I totally love their little personalities.
That is very close to what I have been doing. I have been freezing a gallon jug of water and putting it in the coop with a small fan on it. It seems to cool the air in the immediate vicinity just a bit, and they drink the cold condensation on the side of the bottle. I am going to be freezing...
