Summer Heat Kit

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Heat kills more backyard hens than cold does, and it happens fast. This kit builds shade and airflow into the run, keeps cool water available all afternoon through a nipple system that does not go warm and green, and gives birds a place to dust bathe out of the sun. Sand footing rounds it out by staying cooler and drier than deep litter. Run space. Shade covers. Cool water on tap. Dust bathing. Cooler footing.
