Our neighbor has a "diy" chicken coop. It seems to be the size of a smaller doll house that he's placed under a small greenhouse frame. He's placed a clear plastic tarp over the greenhouse frame to keep it dry and warm in the winter. It's only open on two sides. The problem is that he's left it on for the summer and we're in the mid Atlantic where it's very hot and humid, and it gets full sun in the afternoon. They said that they've lost a chicken to the heat, but have left it on despite this. I've asked if they'll put a shade cloth up, but they said "no." I'm concerned that this is trapping heat for the chickens, and it's neglecting their needs. Pleae see attached photo. Thoughts?
