Colling down chickens

[algrosvenor96]

hello I was wondering if anyone had some good tips for keeping chickens cool during the summer? We take out ice water and bring out some cold snacks. We have some shaded area made up for the chickens but looking for some more ideas. I have heard about people getting kids pools for their chickens any thoughts?

I use two liter bottles and freeze them and put them in the run/coop. I also give them shade using a tarp over their run (run is usually only for rainy days but recently I’m home training some guineas and turkeys). I also double their water. I usually use a 5 gallon waterer but I use two in the summer.
