Do all coops struggle with heat in the summer?

Foam boards are saving the day over here, good call

My area just went through a spell of hot humid weather(no breeze) 3 box fans running with cardboard lining the walls of the coop.

Chickens started panting. One by one I soaked them in a rubber tub full of water to cool them off. They didn't fuss, and just stood in the tub until they cooled off.

Supervised of course...

It has crossed our mind, but we also need a way to make them winter proof.

Automatic foundation vents mounted high, would help with that.

We have several large coops, 2 enclosed ( Half of our Barn, and an addition lean to enclosed)
And 3 open air coops. One is converted from a line of dog kennels.
We are in North Florida, so the heat and humidity can be exhausting.
We have baby pools set up in shady areas for the girls to cool off, though the turkeys are usually the first ones in them, and who want to wade in a pool the Turks pooped in..?
We did purchase outdoor industrial fans and mounted a fan in each coop to keep air circulation going.
Mid sized at HD costs about 80$ each.
They still lay in enclosed boxes, so , unless they are trying to go broody, they are in and out pretty quickly but panting the whole time.
