    Good tips that you use to keep chickens cool in the summer when it is 100°

    I live inArizona where we spend most of our summers somewhere between 109-115, (ouch to disaster). I bought a Hessair portable evaporator cooler 8 years ago to keep their coop cool. They run around $150 and last about 5 years depending on how much you run them. My girls have plenty of shade...

    So beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I keep trying to "improve" my chickens living quarters, but husband has decided that I am more of a shanty town builder than a home improvement person. Haha.

    Summer Heat and the Threat of Overheating

    Hi Lydia, I purchased a swamp cooler for my girls. It's an indoor/outdoor Hessaire. It's amazing! I leave it on all day. Living in Arizona, where the summer temperatures average 110, it can be pretty hard on the chickens. Fortunately for me, I have a well and a large lot with mature trees and...

    Help! One of my chickens sounds like a rooster

    This morning I was outside, just at sunrise was starting and I heard, what sounded like to me, a crowing noise. I hurried to my coop to see who was making the sound, but as you probably already guessed the sound stopped and all the girls had ,"I-didn't-do-it-look" on their faces. I have never...

    Chickens suddenly stopped going in coop at night!

    My girls have several perches at different heights in their coop/run. It’s a rather large coop open air with chicken wire walls so they have fresh air. Living in Arizona, the summers are often way over 100 and some nights the air is quite still. I wet the area down and have a fan running to help...
