**Want to know what I learned?** 🦃💦
Turkeys cool themselves off by standing in water! 😂
I learned that this summer when Jenny was panting pretty hard in the heat. I always keep a fresh bowl of water out for the chickens so they can dip their beaks, and I figured Jenny would do the same. And she does!
But apparently, dipping her beak wasn't nearly as effective for her as it is for the chickens.
So, a little research led me to get her a container big enough for her to stand—or even lay—in so she could cool herself off.
**Little did I know, the fresh bowl of drinking water was her first choice!** 🤣
Farm life… there's always something new to learn! 🌱🦃
