The mornings and evenings are cool, but the days are very hot.
It's been like that lately.
​
We humans sweat when it's hot, and the sweat evaporates to cool us down, but chickens can't sweat.
This is because there are no sweat glands.
In addition, the front part is covered with feathers and heat easily accumulates on the surface of the body, so it is not good in summer.
It manages to control its body temperature by releasing heat from its crest.

The chickens at ARK Farm also seek shade and find well-ventilated areas to escape the heat.
I am observing every day to see if there is anything I can do for these chickens.
