Back Side of Coop?

[birdlady79]

My coop is spit in half long ways... The bottom half opens up for cleaning.... It's starting to get HOT near Memphis,Tn.... I have my front 2 windows screened, my side two windows screened, plus vent holes on each side.... Should I take the bottom portion off the back and make a screened door to for the summer?

That sounds like a good idea, and yes, I would do that. You want as much air exchange, and heat removal as possible. You could build a frame out of 1X4" pine, screwed together, with hardware cloth.
