We live in a hot summer climate. The following are ways I use to keep my two girls more comfortable;
1. Box fan
2. Misters
3. 80% Shade cloth
4. Coop is covered with flectix insulation and that is covered with shade cloth
5. Sand box with sand moistened occasionally to keep it cooler
6. Low perch near the fan so air can circulate under them
The cord used for the box fan is one rated for outdoors and is protected and also plugged in to a GFI outlet which will trip the power if the unit gets wet.
