I'm in MI too. I've been keeping them in the backyard during the day because there's more shade. Their run isn't quite finished. Their coop still gets too hot. I need roof vents. I've been freezing gallon jugs of water and putting the whole frozen jug in the 5 gallon bucket to keep the water cool. And I have 3 laege dog bowls full of water in the yard. When I can catch them I dip them in our pool. My light brahma seems to be doing worse with the heat than my barred rocks.I might be considered certifiable but I brought mine in tonight. It’s so hot outside and it’s 1am- still showing 85 (in MI) so you know it’s hotter in the little hen house. Granted I only have three (a BO and 2 Australorp) but when I peeked in at them and they’re open mouth breathing, I figured it’s time to bring ‘em in! I just hope my husband doesn’t wake early and try to take a shower tomorrow morning- he’ll be in for a surprise as they’re in our walk in shower... lol!
