Heat bothering your chickens?

[frostic]

Hey guys while browsing walmart today i found this really cool air conditioner that is super cheap and small enough to be put in a chicken coop so i decided to share it with all of you.

I'm going to buy one for my chickens. once i get it i'll update you on how good it works or if it helps at all.

I think they work by evaporating cooling so should work ok if its low humidity. If its really humid like here in nc it will just work like a regular fan.

I live in california and we have a super dry heat. and we are in a huge heatwave so i hope it helps.

Should work good then. Anything to keep them chickens cool is a help! About the only thing I can do is keep a fan going on mine. The humidity is so high here.

I love the agriculture box fan we bought it’s all sealed up so the dust and dander can’t get to the good parts,
But
With a well designed coop with cross breezes we used it one summer and now it’s in the shed .

That's a great idea! Thanks, I may have to give it a try.

we have central air but, it only manages to cool the basement & first floor. Upstairs easily gets to 87 degrees and higher. At night just switch to ceiling fan. The electric company will be richer than ever this year.

your chickens are inside?

you should go for solar panels. the government will even pay you to do it.

I have actually been contemplating putting a window AC unit in my Hen House for the most extreme hot days, my girls are suffering! Has anyone done this?>?

well I don't like the item from walmart. it made the coop worse tbh. I forgot to reply back. it don't seem to cool the air at all. its more of a humidifyer. they lie when they say it cools the air.
