Enjoying Life!
Was looking at a review of a flexible mister today with an eye toward hummingbirds, as last summer in Portland, hummers would dive down to bathe in the hose spray when I was hand-watering the ferns with a mist setting. I saw this review:
"Here in Oklahoma it gets really, really hot. I have black backyard chickens who were really looking like they were suffering, so I bought this mister for use in the chicken pen to cool the area for them. It has worked like a charm! The chickens are now up and about, scratching and digging and clucking, and they are obviously more comfortable. I've noticed a tremendous difference in the temperature."
Now, I thought that chickens bathed in dust only - not enjoying being wet. Anyone else give their chickens a mister, and if so, did they actually "use" it, as in, went into or stayed in the area of the misting?
