Over the past couple of years the temperatures during summer have drastically risen. I live in northern central California so its not as hot as the southern cities but still really hot! It gets around 90°-105° on average. Cooler if were lucky. My quails are kept in a large coop that has blinds and a run attached. They are never directly under the sun but still get hot. I put ice in their water dishes, put frozen water bottles around the coop/run, and provide enough dust bathing spots as well as a water bathing dish. If they are still hot I mist them with the hose.
What do you do to keep them cool? I would love to know.
 
I just run a fan to keep the air moving. They seem to take the heat and the cold very well. As long as they are out of the elements and have shelter they adapt very well.
