Thermometer inside coop...

[Mahonri]

My new AC unit keeps a constant digital readout of the temp in the coop. I love it.

Seems everyone has a new thermometer but I was just curious to find out the temps in yalls coop ?

Yeah...my station sits in our master bathroom (I think the range of ours is supposed to be 100 ft., and that's our closest point to the coop). I wish I hadn't looked at it yesterday evening - was reading 97 at around 7PM, and that's with LOTS of ventilation.

It really varies. Lately it's 90-100 during the day and will go down to 75-79 at night. I have to close the coop at night for their protection. I have great ventilation too, but it's fully insulated and that keeps the heat in at night. In the morning when I open the door the coop cools down to about 75.

Tomorrow's high is 75! It will be great to get a break from the heat!

I check the temp every night before I go to bed, the hottest was somewhere close to 90. What worries me is the winter, Cleveland winters on the lake are fierce.

Same here. Temps can reach -22 or so. That is so brutally cold. We have a heat lamp for winter.
