how to cool my hen house down

[I'mLovinIt<3 <3]

You should get a wading pool filled with ice and add chicken wire-covered windows and use a mister on them several times a days. Hope it helps! Good luck and cluck cluck

I agree. That is what I was going to suggest. Spraying water will just make things hotter since it will evaporate. A fan will help also. Don't lay a tarp directly over the roof you want air to move inbetween the tarp and the building. Shallow pools of water will help if kept out of the sun. The birds can wade in the water.

ive added more windows for the day time i shut them at nite due to all the storms we have been having latley... i give them frozen water bottles during hottest part of the day and plenty of fresh water.. I am unsure about the tarp thing due to the neighbors complaining... my animals are all out in an open field so cars and neighbors see them perfectly...i plan to move them in the fall to behind my house where its more private and cooler.. just cant do it till it cools off and i can get all the supplies i need ... thanks for all your help..
