I am looking to get some chickens for eggs. I don't have much experience in maintaining, but I do have a father in law that did and still has chickens. I live in Phoenix,Az. I like to have some that can with stand the heat*summer time*. I will be asking my father in laws help on some things but I like learning all I can.

The main thing about hot climates, is to provide, shade, shade, and more shade. Natural or manufactured. Lots of cold, fresh water. A fan is good for the coop if you can mount it in such a way that birds won't fly into it. Moving air always feels cooler. Some people fill a shallow pan with water so the chickens can cool off their feet, it helps the make the whole bird cooler and more comfortable.
