Im here in central Florida, today it measured over 113*F in open air and it feels even worse in my coops. I dont know what to do. It gets hotter and hotter by the day and I know I am going to start having heat strokes on my hands. The poor things just sit there wings out beak agape panting. We just get staight sun most of the time, hardly ever cloudy or rainy. Today I did the rain dance and it is drizzling now (Im thanking God).
I have two fans set up but just circulates hot air. Even the breezes are blistering hot... its like a convection oven. I thought about spraying the coops down but most would agree that humid heat is worse than dry heat. I tried it once and that was exactly the case, they coops turned into saunas. I want to build my own cooling system for these poor birds because I cant afford an expensive one...any ideas. I had a few heat strokes last year, luckily I didnt lose anybody though.
Thanks for suggestions!
