    hot weather coop

    I live along the gulf coast and temps usually reach 100+ at least a few days every summer. I've got 8 silkies that are going to be moving outside in a couple of weeks & need input on how to modify a coop design so they survive the summer. The very idea of a wooden box with a metal roof sound...
