Chickens devour watermelon on a hot day

With the hot weather, lots of fruits and vegetables are growing. But the hot weather also means that all animals and humans get overheated very easily. Chickens are smart and try to cool themselves down by laying in dirt, opening their mouth for more air, and having their wings out. But they are also quite dumb. They like to huddle when it’s warm out, that why it’s a good thing to keep them separated when it’s hot out. So with the owner’s garden producing watermelons, she thought that she would go and see if one was ready, so she brought it in the house and cut it open to find out that it was still not ripe yet, it was baby pink. So her next thought was to see if the chickens would like it. Turns out they didn’t like it, they LOVED it so much that you could lose them somewhere in the yard and call them and say “Do you want some watermelon?” and they will come running. Watermelon is a good choice in the summer to keep chickens drinking water, as it is something they like but they also get some water out of it to keep them hydrated with the heat.
