Hi, I live in Bluffton, SC so now you know you are not the only one. I have 12 chickens, 1 rooster and 11 hens. They are tollerating the heat just fine, due to the many treats and water supply. It nice to know their are other chicken lovers here in South Carolina.
We have a box fan in the coop, they seem to enjoy it. My belief is that if you place a ceiling fan in the coop, you may be creating a dangerous environment for you chickens. Don't forget plenty of water especially in the heat.
I have named all my chickens, One rooster "Buzz" and I have 11 hens -- Ethyl, Bonnie, Marcie, Suzie, Mary, Dottie, Margie, Lacreda, Patsy, Liz and Kung Pow, my layers. If they have names friends and family will know that we won't eat them. They love when I give them yogart and unsweetened...
