Brooding outside in heat

In the Brooder

I usually have my brooder set up on my porch but I'm wondering if it's okay to still do that in the summer. Its completely shaded.. We are in the 80s at night and can get up to 105 during the day. I will still have a heat plate just incase they need the heat in the night. I'm mostly worried about the heat during the day. Would they be okay in the heat?

As long as the outdoor brooder is heavily ventilated, they'll be fine.
