staceychristie Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi guys, Watch the heat, and keep the girls in the shade. One of ours (Davina, the Head Girl) didn't want to play. She had a red hot abdomen. We dabbed her with cold water with an old dish cloth, also dabbed her comb and wattles. Instant success!!!!!! She returned to form straight away. Keep them cool, even a spray with a hose (mist from above, not water cannon type) - they stand still when they get wet, so guess they like it.
