Listen Later

In Part 2 of this Poultry Keepers Podcast, Jeff Mattocks and Carey Blackmon return to tackle more proven, real-world strategies for preventing heat stress in your birds. From ventilation hacks and nutrition adjustments to water system improvements and coop cooling tricks, this episode is packed with practical insights every poultry keeper can use.

We dive into:

  • Airflow and coop design for better temperature regulation
  • Why chickens prefer apple cider vinegar in summer water
  •  Frozen treats: fun or flawed? What it does to your eggs
  •  High-protein treats—helpful or harmful in summer?
  •  Smart watering systems: misting, recirculating lines, and temperature targets
  •  Cleaning tips for nipple lines and drinkers
  •  Emergency cooling strategies (frozen blocks, standing water, fans)
  • Water pH, alkalinity, and why it matters more than you think
  •  Winter water heating tips (yes, summer prep helps with winter, too!)

Whether you raise birds for show, production, or pets, this is a must-watch episode that brings clarity to common summer challenges. Learn how to listen to your birds, balance their diet, and keep them cool, hydrated, and healthy through the hottest months.
