Water needs boost for chickens in hot July August heat
Special attention to water supply for flocks may curb decreased pace and growth in hot weather. Byron W. Moore of West Virginia University urges doubling watering space, offering birds cool, clean water to aid cooling as temperatures top 90 degrees. He notes water temperature affects cooling and that pipes buried under ground keep water cooler. Laying hens perform best around 50 to 60 degrees, and high water intake helps birds endure heat.
