Don't know about y'all, but we're hitting 102 today and 102 again tomorrow. Our two gals Camilla and Nigella are not amused. They're staying in the "cool" spot under the deck, only panting a big during the hottest part of the day. My main concern is that they won't go up to their boxes on the second floor of the coop. They've started laying on the ground floor at the bottom of the ramp! My theory is that it's too hot up there (though it might be that some rodent got up there at some point and now it "smells like squirrel", who the heck knows? One day Camilla did lay upstairs, but it was on the floor, not in her box.
We're going to do a complete cleanout of the upstairs this weekend to test the "pollution" theory, but if that doesn't work, what has everyone found to be helpful in terms of cooling off the interior? Mind you, this is a little 2-bird coop, so not a whole lot of room for electronics in there etc. Any and all ideas welcome!
