Need Help with Coop (pic Heavy)

[Mikey D]

Aurora - I'm inclined to agree with those folks above - remove three walls.

You could frame in some really large (think picture) windows, especially at the top.

Take away as much as you can without structurally compromising the coop.

Many folks out here only have one or two walls and a run and call it a coop.

You have to let as much air blow through as possible for them to get through weeks of over 100 degrees at night.

Other than that I'm jealous - that thing is awesome!

I am going to put brooders in there as well and baby chicks...

i agree with the rest, add more ventilation. nice coop by the way. maybe paint it white also will help with heat

If you want to leave it the way it is you could put a cooler on it, but you'll have to do something or your chickens will cook!
Even with no walls and free ranging, some don't make it through the summer here. It's just too hot for 4 walls!
