I give them ice to stand in when we are at the peak if our heat. They also have a fan and deep shade. Heres a picture showing my shade. It also extends to under their coop. I will occasionally wet the ground also if we are super hot that day. Somedays we get to 110 and the girls love to dig in the wet part of the run then sit in it.

I live in WI and recently moved. My old coop location was in the shade so the coop stayed nice and cool. We moved to a previous farm field that has very little trees or shade. We got a 10x16 ft shed for a coop and built a 24x36 ft run. I was so excited to get my feather friends in the coop! That is until the sun started baking the coop. I didnt even think of this as an issue. I put a shade tarp over 15 ft of the run. I also insulated the ceiling of the coop, which helped a bring the ceiling temp down by like 15 degrees. I give the flock ice water too. I will plant some trees but that will take time to give shade.

Any ideas to help cool this coop off more? And fast?!
