Oh, and lest people laugh at the idea of your a/c coop, egg production increases when they're more comfortable, so theoretically, the electric bill could pay for itself.
Unreal! I can't believe how some coops look so clean and can be served a meal

Before we added the a/c we were getting 2-3 eggs out of 8 gals with this heat...then it increased to 5-7. Eventually they all figured out that it was cooler inside instead of sitting under their shaded "patio" cover. I came home from work one day and didn't see the gals in their usual place. They were all inside the coop. They are smart girls. Finally the temps are getting into double digits and they are hanging out in their run now. DH bought an energy efficient a/c and our bill isn't much higher than it was previous.
