Hot Climate Chicken Housing and Care

Fantastic info! I also live in steamy NC, so it's nice to get some tips specific to my area. Thanks

@3KillerBs

Exactly advice I was seeking! Thank you so much @3KillerBs Much appreciated here in Dallas, TX.

Well-written must have for summer. Good job. I would like to share that I have switched from tarps or shade cloth to aluminet shade cloth. I use 85%. I find that while regular shade cloth blocks UV, it creates heat under it. Aluminet reflects.

This article is very informative and thorough, emphasizing the neccessity to keep chickens comfortable in hot weather through proper coop construction styles and ventilation, as well as many other important tips and pointers.

Great article, thanks for information on open air coops in hot humid climate!!!

Fantastic article and a great coop.

This article was very helpful, thank you. I am building a new coop since I have recently moved and I will be referring to this article when I'm planning it.

Very well written and detailed article. Lots of good information.

A really great article! Well thought out and verbalized with fantastic hot weather advice.

Love the details in this article that are great advice for coop designs. Knowing the prevailing winds (when there are some!) is a great way to work with one's environment to keep chickens healthy during those long hot summer days in the southern part of the US. This article is a must read for anyone considering building a coop to house chickens in the south.

Very Good Article !!!!

Helpful article for those with hot summers!

Great tips.

Lots of useful, practical information, well organised. Very handy for the Down Under chicken wranglers!
