    Desert chickens, will need coolness!

    Yeah, it can and does get over 100 here on the bad days. I though about maybe a mist-we system but figured too much moisture is bad. I think I might put in a fan

    Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and see if anyone had any great pre-chicken purchase advice! My wife and I just bought our house and plan on having a garden and a chicken coop right next to it for easy access to move chicken "fertilizer" to the garden. That's about it though!
