I lost my favorite girl when she went into the nest box to lay...it was like being in a hot car. I didn't think they would leave shade and water to go into the hot coop. Now I keep uppers open all day, put frozen water just inside the upper opening and blow a fan on it. I'm also hanging sheets around it to keep the sunload off the coop. I give them frozen corn, drip a hose in their run and keep their gaterade cold. I found a bucket misting fan at home depot but battery only lasts about two hours...but I use it everyday in the afternoon to give them a break. I also blow a fan up at their coop roost. Sometimes our low I'd in the 90's! Last year they were babies in the house. Didn't realize how hard it was to keep them alive in Phoenix!
