Each gardener views their landscape a little differently. Some grow plants for their environmental impact, others want to grow plants for their use in the kitchen and home, some are gravitated to plants for their aesthetic beauty, and others get so obsessed with one particular plant that they amass an unbelievable collection. Most of us are drawn to all of these aspects of gardening, and Linda Hagler in Madison, Georgia (Zone 8a) surely falls in that camp, but her incredible rose collection of 104 plants is what really stood out in this submission.
I only started gardening when I was 40 years old. I am now 81 and I can’t wait to get outside everyday. We built this home 8 years ago and my front yard is full sun with tons of deer around. We live in downtown Madison, GA but we still have deer. We have evergreens in the front yard along with things the deer do not eat. In the backyard, we put up a deer fence. I have 104 roses. A lot of the roses, I rooted myself. I was a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines for 26 years and then became a realtor when Eastern went out of business. I have moved 5 times and made gardens each time. We have 1 acre but at least 1/3 acre is in huge old oak trees. 1/2 acre is the front yard and I have squeezed in a vegetable garden, 104 roses, and a perennial garden in the back yard with 1/3 acre of sun.
A bright pink Dortmund® rose (Rosa ‘Dortmund’, Zones 4–10) climbs a tree trunk for a flash of color in the shade.
More pretty pink roses, ranging from bright to light, provide layers of interest at different heights in the garden.
Linda’s rose collection is endlessly impressive, but she does save some room for other bloomers. A ‘Sea Breeze’ clematis (Clematis ‘Zo09063’, Zones 4–9) adds a lovely pop of light purple.
It isn’t a real rose collection without some stunning red shades in the mix. An Arborose® Florentina™ rose (Rosa ‘KORtrameilo’, Zones 5–10) is vibrant in dappled shade.
Another non-rose adding vibrancy to Linda’s landscape is her El Nino® desert orchid (Chitalpa ‘NCXC1’, Zones 6–9).
When it comes to climbing, roses and clematis are a lovely pairing. Here, a Eden Climber® Pretty in Pink rose (R. ‘Margaret Mae’, Zones 5–10) is a charming companion to the smaller, bell-shaped blooms of ‘Betty Corning’ clematis (Clematis ‘Betty Corning’, Zones 4–9).
For a collector like Linda, containers can be utilized to squeeze in more varieties that don’t mind a confined space. ‘Frilly Lilly’ rose (R. ‘Frilly Lilly’, Zones 5–10) is a compact variety that is very happy in a container—as you can see from this profusion of blooms.
Lastly, a look at some of Linda’s roses enjoying sun and shade. In the foreground, bright pink Eleganza® Fiji™ roses (R. ‘KORladcher’, Zones 5–10) pair nicely with the pure white blooms of Honor™ (R. ‘JAColite’, Zones 6–10).
Linda sent it so many photos of her incredible rose collection and other sensational bloomers that we will be returning to her garden in Georgia tomorrow, so keep an eye on your inbox.

All of which are comprised of small, densely packed, star-shaped blooms.

There are evergreen species, but those commonly sold in garden centers are deciduous and lose their leaves in late autumn.
Some cultivars have a light fragrance, although most do not.
Ancient hydrangea fossils dating to the early Cenozoic era (65 million years ago) have been found all along the length of western North America – a good indicator of their longevity!
First cultivated in Japan, they didn’t arrive in Europe until the early 18th century – and arrived from North America when a colonist sent a native varietal home to England.
In Japan, they’re thought to be a sign of gratitude or apology because an emperor once gifted them to the families of ladies he fancied.
On the flip side, the Victorians assigned them the meaning of boastfulness or vanity due to their big, showy flowers – very immodest!
And Victorians also used them to politely tell a suitor of their disinterest.
Native Americans successfully employed the roots and bark of native species as a diuretic and for pain relief.
But please don’t try this at home – many commercial garden species are toxic to animals and humans and can cause mild to severe stomach upset.
How to Grow
Hydrangeas prefer a full sun to part shade location, but can only handle hot, full sun locations if the soil is kept consistently moist.
Because they have big leaves, they transpire a lot of moisture. And if exposed to hot afternoon sunshine without adequate moisture, leaves will wilt and droop.
They enjoy rich soil amended with organic material and require a well-draining site.
The planting hole should be two to three times the width of the root ball and of an equal depth.
Add some bone meal to the amended soil, loosen any bound or twisted roots before setting in place. Backfill with amended soil and water thoroughly to settle.
When planting, choose a site to accommodate the plant’s full size and avoid locations prone to strong, gusty winds.
Those grown in containers may need to be watered daily, and a four-inch layer of mulch will help to retain moisture.
Feed with a slow release, balanced fertilizer, with a 10-10-10 (NPK) ratio, in early spring.
For container growth, ensure your pots have an adequate layer of drainage material and most importantly, holes in the bottom.

And use a potting mix with plenty of moisture-retentive material such as peat moss, perlite, or vermiculite.
After planting, mix in a slow-release fertilizer and water well.
In Zones 5 and cooler, plant in sheltered locations and provide extra winter protection if needed.
To minimize bud loss and protect from dieback, wrap with burlap or landscape fabric to protect against cold snaps and extreme winter temperatures.
The color is influenced by soil chemistry, with pH levels able to affect the flower color of bigleaf and mountain species, H. macrophylla and H. serrata.
Photo by Lorna Kring.
Typically, flowers are blue in soil of high acidity, and mauve to pink in alkaline soil. Some shrubs will even show all three colors at once!
To alter pH levels and manipulate flower color, treat the soil well before flowers bloom, starting in late summer and continuing the following spring.
To encourage blue blooms, grow in acidic soil with a pH of 5.2 to 5.5.
Incorporating naturally acidic materials such as coffee grounds, peat moss, pine needles, oak leaves, or sawdust will increase levels slightly and slowly.
Or, you can increase soil acidity by adding aluminum sulfate, ammonium sulfate, or a soil acidifier.
For mauve to pink blooms, a more alkaline soil is needed with a range of pH 6.0 to 6.2.
Retest your soil periodically to monitor the effects of any soil amendment – over time, the pH will revert back to original levels.
And if you’re want to maintain a certain pH level, soil should be tested annually.
Also, it should be noted that species with true white or cream flowers, like the oakleaf, H. quercifolia, will stay their original color regardless of the soil’s chemical composition.
Species and Cultivars
These are the most commonly grown garden species in North America:
Bigleaf – H. macrophylla
Climbing – H. petiolaris
Mountain – H. serrata
Oakleaf – H. quercifolia
Panicle – H. paniculata
Smooth – H. arborescens
Let’s take a look at each of these in a bit more detail:
Bigleaf
The original Endless Summer® hydrangea bigleaf variety (H. macrophylla ‘Bailmer’) is a garden favorite prized for its uniform, rounded growth.
It reaches about three to five feet tall with a similar spread and produces large mophead flowers in colors of pink to sapphire.
Blooming profusely from June to September, large, dark green leaves add to the color display, turning shades of burgundy and scarlet in autumn.
Flowers form on new and old wood and should be pruned in late summer as for old wood. Hardy in Zones 4 to 9.
Bigleaf makes a terrific foundation or specimen plant and works well in hedges, perennial beds, and privacy screens – it definitely rates a space where it can be admired from your patio or windows.
The big, beautiful blooms attract butterflies and are wonderful in dried or fresh flower arrangements as well.
A bold, rambling species, climbing hydrangea (H. petiolaris) features large, fragrant white blooms in a lacecap style that flower in late spring to mid-summer.
As they age, flowers turn a deep brick red – the same color as the attractive, peeling bark. And the rich, dark green foliage gives a show of autumn yellow.
Easy to grow, it clings to brickwork, up tree trunks, or wooden walls without support and is happy in either shade or sun.
Lateral branches develop as the plant grows, giving a deep, layered look. Hardy in Zones 4-8, plants can grow up to 60 feet with a spread of five to six feet.
H. serrata, aka mountain hydrangea, is compact species, reaching a mature height of about two to three feet with a similar spread.
The plants have a dense, branching habit, and the bright green, heart-shaped leaves turn shades of burgundy and magenta in fall for additional late season color.
‘Tiny Tuff Stuff’ is an exceptionally cold-hardy, reblooming cultivar, producing flowers almost nonstop from early summer into mid-autumn.
Handsome, oak-shaped leaves lend the common name of oakleaf hydrangea (H. quercifolia) and turn vibrant shades of burgundy and red as temperatures drop.
It has a height of six to eight feet and a similar spread and is hardy in Zones 5 to 9. Flowers bud on old wood so prune after flowers are finished in late summer.
‘Gatsby Pink’ is a striking large oakleaf cultivar with large, dramatic florets of coral pink blooms perched atop tall stems from mid-summer right into autumn.
Adaptable and easy to grow, ‘Gatsby Pink’ appreciates some afternoon shade in hot southern climates.
Use as a foundation or specimen plant, in hedges or privacy screens, and massed in woodland settings. And the long-lasting flowers are good for fresh cut arrangements and for drying.
Panicle (H. paniculata) varieties have flower towers, some densely packed with individual blooms while others have a looser form.
Strawberry Sundae® (‘Rensun’) has fantastic, two-tone panicles that give a big splash of color on a compact plant, growing four to five feet tall with a spread of three to four feet.
Flowers first appear as creamy white in mid-summer, change to pink from the bottom up as they age, and finish with flair as they change to bright strawberry red.
Flowers appear on new wood and should be pruned in spring. Cut back to the ground or one to three feet for taller growth.
H. arborescens aka smooth hydrangea is an outstanding ornamental shrub that features the massive flower clusters.
Attractive to butterflies and other pollinators, it grows four to five feet tall with a three- to four-foot spread and is one of the hardiest: suitable for Zones 3 to 9.
Blooms appear on new wood and stems can be pruned in winter. Cut back to the ground or to one to three-feet for taller growth.
‘Annabelle’ makes an outstanding foundation or specimen plant but really shines when grouped in hedges, privacy screens, or planted en masse.
Huge, symmetrical corymbs made of multiple, bright white blooms cover the plant all summer and are perfectly showcased by the deep green leaves that turn vivid yellow in fall.
If you’re planning a perennial flower garden and want more selections of hydrangea to choose from, don’t miss perusing our selection of favorite 25 cultivars to help you weed through the hundreds that are available.
Maintenance
Generally, plants require little pruning.
As flowers fade, they dry on the stem adding interest to the fall garden. However, varieties that rebloom benefit from regular deadheading to encourage re-flowering.
But before you do any cutting, it’s important to determine if your plant flowers on new or old wood.
Prune for Flowers on Old Wood
Many varieties of H. macrophylla and H. quercifolia flower on old wood, typically the classic big leaf, lacecap, and mophead types.
These plants form buds in late summer, just as the current year’s flowers are finishing.
They require only a light trim immediately after flowering, cutting stems to just above a pair of healthy leaf nodes.
Avoid an “overall” pruning in winter or early spring because this removes many of next year’s flowers.
Prune for Flowers on New Wood
Others, like smooth and panicle species, H. arborescens and H. paniculata, flower on new wood. These form sets of buds in spring.
These varieties should be cut back in late winter or very early spring and can take a hard pruning when needed.
Cut back liberally to one to two feet to encourage new growth and flower production.
This also produces a full, strong plant that will stay upright under the weight of their profuse summer blooms.
Prune for Flowers on Both Old and New Wood
There are also mopheads that bloom on both old and new wood. They display early flowers that grow on old wood, and a second flush of blooms that appear on new wood.

Back in February, I offered you the first part of a five-step model for revising your garden bed when light conditions change. If you missed it, read it here. Having addressed the first steps—Observe, Assess, Plan—I’ll cover the important final steps that make or break the outcome over time: installation and aftercare. These final steps are appropriate for all new planting installations.
Skimping on either installation or aftercare is a quick way to damage your investment and undermine prior efforts. Moreover, neglecting these tasks can result in ongoing problems and eventually the demise of the design. I’ll provide you with a primer that will help you understand their value.
Step 4: Installing a Resilient Design
Preparing to install your new design is an important part of the overall process. Installation prep generally means four things: ensuring a clean site, having everything at hand, watering plants before planting them, and setting out plants where they will go before digging any holes (reshuffling as necessary).
If you haven’t done so before, prep your bed by removing all weeds, detritus, and plants to be relocated. If necessary, gently rake the site, but avoid disturbing the soil beyond what is required to complete the above tasks. Soil disturbance exposes weed seeds and damages the soil’s fragile texture and composition. If clearing the bed more than 24 hours in advance, try to tarp it to reduce wind-blown weed seed infiltration.
When possible, keep prepared ground covered until you are ready to work, to avoid introducing wind-blown seed into a clean bed.
Plan your attack before you start
Grab all the tools you need, including the less obvious ones, like pruners, trugs or tarps for excess soil, something to kneel on, and boards to protect the area from compaction, and so on. Bring your plants to the site, along with any other materials such as extra compost or mulch. Lay it all out for ease of access.
Start with well-watered plants by saturating them before planting. When watering in new plants, the existing dry ground soil is prone to soak up water before the new plant can take it in. Watering before planting ensures initial hydration. Set your plants in a tray or bucket and water directly into that, allowing the water to be absorbed from below. Avoid watering your plants from overhead, particularly over bare soil, to reduce damage to foliage.
Water plants from below by letting them soak up water from a tray or bucket to make sure they are fully hydrated before planting.
Set out your plants where you intend to plant them, but don’t dig yet. Step back and look at your design from multiple angles. Does it still work? What works on paper rarely looks the same on the ground. Do you see anything that needs adjustment? Still, be mindful of future growth and resist the urge to fill all the inevitable bare spots that will shortly be covered by new vegetation.
The main event: planting your design
Plants are vulnerable to dehydration and stunted growth in their small pots, but even more so when their roots are exposed. Getting them properly sited in the soil needs to be a priority. Dig holes as you go, and don’t remove the plant from the pot until you’re ready. It’s easy to inadvertently shift the hole slightly when you lift the plant, so step back periodically to check for drift. It’s helpful to nudge an outline into the soil before lifting, then dig directly. Avoid piling excess soil directly on the ground, and use a small bucket or tarp scrap to prevent introducing weed seed to the surface. This also makes it easier to pour the soil back in when firming the plant. Keep another trug or wheelbarrow for unused soil. Now, water it all in, gently, at the base of the plant.
Mulch matters
Often, you only need to add one thing to your soil during the establishment period: mulch. Mulch protects your soil from erosion, insulates it from extreme temperature fluctuations, moderates evaporation while allowing air to move freely, reduces soil-borne pathogens, provides a natural fertilizer and soil conditioner that can improve texture, and blocks the germination of competing plants. Besides watering, when establishing a new garden, putting down a layer of fine mulch or compost can help plants get off to a good start. However, not all mulches are created equal, and different types of mulch serve different purposes. Avoid chunky bark chips and choose something finer: a minimally processed, dye-free, natural material that is locally available.
It’s important to note that while mulch decreases the likelihood of weed germination during establishment, it doesn’t entirely prevent it. Putting down a layer of mulch still requires vigilance. And while mulching is useful for helping plants during the establishment period, it isn’t always necessary to mulch repeatedly; in fact, mulching the same areas year in and year out can be problematic. The goal with mulch is to use it as a transitional ground cover while your design fills in, so the soil is eventually covered with desirable growing plants, not mulch.
Mulch can help during the initial establishment of new plantings.
As a rule of thumb, 2 to 3 inches of mulch typically offers some weed suppression, but a thicker layer can interfere with plants getting water where they need it, so don’t go overboard. Water at the base of these plants until establishment—usually a few weeks to three months or more for herbaceous perennials. Shrubs and trees will need much longer supplemental watering. When establishing new planting, it’s useful to use soil moisture levels as your guide rather than adhering to rigid schedules. Still, the frequency, duration, and amount of water required for newly planted vegetation has too many variables to cover here, so check with your local independent nursery for tailored advice when you purchase your plants.
Step 5: Don’t Call It Maintenance
Using the term “maintenance” is problematic because it implies a static task, whereas plant needs change over time. Aftercare of new plantings is ongoing. Beyond proper watering, aftercare implies a commitment to pay attention and be curious about how your plants are growing to ensure their successful establishment and ultimately, the success of the design. Keep the area free of other plants that might compete with their establishment, and while that usually means weeds, it might also mean relocating a desirable self-sower.
Generally, annuals grow faster than perennials, which means they may compete for valuable space and resources with your new planting. While it’s not always problematic to include annuals interspersed with newly planted perennials, ensure ample room and water if you’re attempting to interplant with new perennials. Going back to the planning phase, plants with similar cultural requirements are more successful when grown together than when attempting to support plants sited in mismatched conditions.
Don’t be too eager to fertilize
In most cases, fertilizers, especially synthetic ones with high NPK ratings, should be avoided during planting, if ever used at all. Home soil-testing kits are often insufficient and inaccurate, so don’t rely on them for this guidance. Outdated advice to fertilize soil before planting has been revised; consider this option only if extreme deficiencies are evident after professional soil testing and analysis from a reputable lab, with clear instructions on exactly what to add and how much. Follow all application directions, and do not assume more is better—it’s not, and it will burn your plants regardless of how long they have been in the ground, not to mention potential negative impacts on soil and groundwater. Fertilizer use during the establishment period typically does far more harm than good, and ornamental plants chosen appropriately for their site rarely need this intervention at all.
Rabbit damage is difficult to prevent, but hardware cloth around new installations and nontoxic repellants are a good start.
Protect your investment
Protect your investment by thwarting herbivores. New plants are particularly susceptible to herbivore pressure. Just like you, the rabbits and deer want to enjoy fresh options, so consider temporarily fencing off new planting areas with hardware cloth or chicken wire while the plants get settled in and can develop greater resilience to being chomped. Choosing herbivore-resistant plants will also reduce, but never eliminate, damage or loss.
Monitor plants for problems such as stress and disease, but don’t assume that insect damage is inherently problematic. Instead, get help from an expert when you need it: reputable online sources, an independent garden center, a professional gardener, or a state extension agent. Establishing a new bed can be a bit of work, but time invested in planning, proper installation, and appropriate aftercare ensures the greatest likelihood of a successful, enduring design.

Unlike people, chickens do not have sweat glands to help cool their bodies. Instead, they try to release heat by holding their wings away from their sides and panting heavily. During hot weather, it’s also common to notice birds eating less while drinking much more water than usual.
If you don’t care, then your flocks can experience dangerous heat exhaustion and which may even lead to death.
Before jumping into how to keep chickens cool, it helps to first understand how much heat chickens can actually tolerate.
How Hot is Too Hot for Chickens?
Chickens are usually comfortable when temperatures stay between 65°F and 75°F. Once the weather starts climbing above 85°F, many birds begin showing signs of heat stress, especially heavy breeds, older hens, and fluffy chickens with dense feathers.
High humidity can make the situation even worse because it becomes harder for birds to release body heat through panting.
When temperatures reach 90°F and above, chickens can quickly become uncomfortable without proper shade, airflow, and cool water.
You may notice birds holding their wings away from their bodies, breathing heavily, or avoiding activity during the hottest parts of the day. Egg production often drops as the flock tries to conserve energy and stay cool.
Extreme heat above 100°F can become dangerous or even deadly if chickens do not have protection from the sun.
Heat exhaustion may develop surprisingly fast inside poorly ventilated coops or crowded runs. Providing constant access to fresh water, shaded areas, and good airflow becomes essential during severe summer temperatures.
Signs of Heat Stress in Chickens
Heavy panting or open-mouth breathing
Wings held away from the body
Reduced appetite
Increased water consumption
Lethargic or weak behavior
Pale combs and wattles
Drooping wings
Decreased egg production
Gathering in shaded areas
Diarrhea or loose droppings
Chickens often begin showing early signs of heat stress long before temperatures become truly dangerous. Birds may stop scratching around the yard, avoid direct sunlight, and spend more time sitting quietly in shaded spots.
Since chickens cannot sweat, panting becomes their primary way to cool themselves, which also causes them to lose moisture much faster during hot weather.
If the heat continues, symptoms can become more serious and may quickly turn into heat exhaustion. Some chickens may appear disoriented, struggle to stand, or collapse entirely in extreme temperatures.
Paying attention to these warning signs early allows flock owners to step in before the situation becomes life-threatening.
12 Ways to Keep Your Chickens Cool in the Summer
1. Give Chickens Plenty of Fresh Water
Chickens lose a lot of moisture during hot weather because they cool themselves by panting. That is why fresh, cool water becomes extremely important in summer. Birds that do not drink enough water can become weak and overheated very quickly.
Check water containers several times a day because the sun can heat the water fast. It also helps to place waterers in shaded spots so the water stays cooler for longer.
2. Provide Plenty of Shade
Shade gives chickens a place to escape the harsh summer sun and cool down naturally. Without protection from direct sunlight, birds can become stressed very quickly, especially during the afternoon when temperatures are highest.
Trees, tarps, umbrellas, or shade cloth can all help create cooler areas around the coop and run. Even a simple shaded corner can make a big difference in keeping your flock comfortable during hot weather.
3. Improve Coop Ventilation
A hot, stuffy coop can trap heat and make chickens uncomfortable very fast. Good ventilation allows fresh air to move through the coop and helps remove warm air, moisture, and odors.
Open windows, vents, or doors safely during the day to improve airflow. In very hot climates, some chicken keepers also use fans to keep air moving and help the coop stay cooler.
4. Offer Cooling Summer Treats
Cold fruits and vegetables can help chickens stay hydrated while also giving them relief from the heat. Many birds enjoy treats like watermelon, cucumber, lettuce, and frozen peas during summer.
These snacks contain extra water, which helps chickens cool down naturally. Giving chilled treats in the afternoon can also encourage birds to eat when the heat lowers their appetite.
5. Avoid Overcrowding
Too many chickens in a small space can make the coop much hotter during summer. Crowded birds create extra body heat and reduce airflow, making it harder for everyone to stay cool.
Giving chickens enough room to spread out helps lower stress and keeps air moving around the flock. A spacious coop and run can make a big difference during extreme heat.
6. Keep the Coop Clean and Dry
Dirty or wet bedding can trap heat and create extra humidity inside the coop. This makes the space feel hotter and more uncomfortable for chickens during summer.
Clean the coop regularly and replace damp bedding when needed. A dry, fresh coop usually stays cooler and helps reduce odors and flies in hot weather.
7. Use Frozen Water Bottles or Ice
Frozen water bottles can give chickens a cool place to rest during very hot days. Simply freeze a few bottles of water and place them in shaded areas around the coop or run.
Some chickens will sit beside the bottles to cool their bodies naturally. You can also add a little ice to drinking water to help keep it cooler for longer in extreme heat.
8. Let Chickens Take Dust Baths
Dust baths help chickens stay comfortable and care for their feathers naturally. During hot weather, birds often dig shallow holes in cool dirt and relax there to escape the heat.
Providing loose soil, sand, or dry dirt in a shaded area gives chickens a cooler place to rest. Many birds will spend extra time dust bathing during the hottest days of summer.
Chickens often eat less during the hottest part of the day because heat can reduce their appetite. Feeding them early in the morning or later in the evening helps birds eat more comfortably when temperatures are lower.
Avoid giving large meals during the afternoon heat. Cooler feeding times can help chickens maintain their energy and stay healthier during summer.
10. Add Fans Around the Coop
Fans help improve airflow and move hot air out of the coop during summer. Even a simple outdoor fan can make the area feel much cooler for chickens on extremely hot days.
Place fans safely where birds cannot reach cords or blades. Better air circulation helps reduce heat buildup and keeps the coop more comfortable overall.
11. Provide Cool Places to Rest
During hot weather, chickens naturally search for cooler spots to relax and escape the sun. Many birds will rest under bushes, trees, or shaded corners where the ground feels cooler than exposed areas.
You can make this easier by creating shaded resting spaces around the run. Cool dirt, sand, or grassy areas help chickens stay more comfortable and reduce heat stress during the hottest part of the day.
Extreme summer temperatures can become dangerous very quickly, especially during heat waves. Checking your flock several times a day helps you notice early signs of heat stress before the situation gets worse.
If a chicken looks weak, pants heavily, or struggles to stand, move it to a cooler shaded area immediately and offer fresh water. Quick action can help prevent serious heat exhaustion during very hot weather.
Best Summer Treats to Keep Chickens Cool
Cooling treats can help chickens stay hydrated and more comfortable during hot weather. Many fruits and vegetables contain extra moisture, which helps birds cool down naturally while still getting small healthy snacks.
Watermelon
Watermelon is one of the best summer treats for chickens because it contains so much water. Most chickens enjoy pecking at the soft fruit, especially on extremely hot afternoons.
You can serve small slices or chunks with the rind still attached. Cold watermelon from the refrigerator can feel even more refreshing during heat waves.
Cucumber
Cucumbers are packed with water and are easy for chickens to eat. They also provide a light snack without being too heavy during hot weather.
Simply slice cucumbers into smaller pieces and place them in a shaded feeding area. Many chickens enjoy pecking at the cool center first.
Frozen Berries
Frozen berries can help cool chickens down while adding a little variety to their diet. Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are common favorites for many backyard flocks.
Serve them in small amounts as a treat rather than a full meal. The cold temperature can provide extra relief on very hot days.
Lettuce and Leafy Greens
Leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale contain moisture and can help chickens stay hydrated. Hanging lettuce leaves around the run also gives birds something fun to peck at during the day.
Avoid giving spoiled or wilted greens during summer heat. Fresh vegetables are always the better choice.
Frozen Peas
Frozen peas are small, easy to eat, and naturally cool. Some chicken owners scatter them in shallow trays or cool water so birds can peck and play at the same time.
This simple treat can help encourage activity while also helping chickens cool off a little during warm afternoons.
Emergency Measures for Treating Heat Stroke in Chickens
Heat stroke in chickens can become life-threatening very quickly, especially during extreme summer temperatures. Birds suffering from severe overheating may collapse, struggle to breathe, or become too weak to stand. Acting fast is very important.
Move the Chicken to a Cool Area
Immediately carry the overheated chicken into a shaded, cooler space with good airflow. A garage, covered porch, or air-conditioned room can help lower body temperature more safely than leaving the bird outside in direct heat.
Avoid placing the chicken into ice-cold water because sudden temperature changes can shock the body.
Offer Cool Drinking Water
Give the chicken fresh, cool water right away. Some birds may drink on their own, while weaker chickens may need gentle encouragement.
Electrolytes made for poultry can also help replace minerals lost during heavy panting and dehydration.
Cool the Body Slowly
Lightly wet the chicken’s feet, legs, and comb with cool water to help release heat gradually. You can also place damp towels nearby or use a fan to improve airflow around the bird.
Focus on gentle cooling instead of rapid chilling. Cooling the body too quickly can sometimes create additional stress.
Monitor the Chicken Closely
Watch the chicken carefully for improvement over the next several hours. Birds recovering from heat stroke may still appear weak, tired, or less active even after cooling down.
If the chicken does not improve, continues gasping, or becomes unresponsive, contact a veterinarian experienced with poultry as soon as possible.
Simple steps like providing cool water, improving ventilation, offering shaded areas, and watching for signs of heat stress can make a huge difference during summer.
With a little extra attention, you can help your flock stay safe, comfortable, and productive even on the hottest days of the year.
