I does get pretty warm here, no doubt! Its hard to tell in the pics but the roof pallets allow for a ton of venting. I also plan on cutting pop type doors out of the front doors. This will allow me to open the coop up a lot during the warmer season.

The roof is slanted from front to back. It has about a 3deg pitch, just enough for rain run-off.
I wanted to have space under the coops for shade during the summer. I am going to screen in the bottom so they have access from the run in the back.
Thanks for your inputs...
