Taps flock party

[Likepaperinafire]

Here's the latest pics of my flock. Starting to figure out what breeds everyone is based on their colors. I'm kind of nervous for my Partridge Chantacler as I live in the High Desert of California so it gets about 110-115 in the summer months... guess that's what I get for just buying a surprise special from ideal. I'll have to set up misters or something for her to cool off...

That is one small coop for that many birds being kept in a desert. You might want to seriously consider building and much larger open air design coop. Many birds die from heat stroke in lower temperatures than you sited.

They are not confined to the coop and run. They enter and leave as they want. I removed one of the side panels from the run They free-range my 2.26 acre backyard. Also that coop has 2 gable vents and 3 windows that open to let heat out but I will look into building a much bigger one with more open space
