Where I am at is is ususally well above 90 in the summer, some weeks it tops out over 110....How do people keep the chickens cool in the heat? Where my Chickens will be there is a large tree nearby that casts some shade, and I plan on having the coop above ground so they go underneath for shade, but how do I keep temperatures inside the coop cool? I plan on having a window that opens for ventilation and a human size door that opens into the pen that I can prop open to create a cross breeze....Is there anything else I can do?
In the winters it gets down pretty cool too, when the storms come through we drop down below zero, at what temp should I put on the heat lamp?
Thanks!
