Coop or free range in this extreme heat?

[BoltonChicken]

In high heat chickens need four things, and four things only. 1. Shade. 2. Dirt 3. Water. 4. Ventilation. They Do NOT need swimming pools, ice cream, frozen treats, fans (unless in an enclosed building). Remember chickens are jungle birds and can thrive in heat that would put a human in the hospital.

mine prefer to hang out under the mister. i let them free range some. they like that alot. they find their own cool places. the last place they go to in the day is the coop. it's just too darn hot in there.
