Just thought I would post my experience. It has been a real scorcher here in Missouri with no end in sight. We always try to make improvements as cheaply as possible so we have gone through 3 fans. An 18 inch fan, a 24 inch box fan and now we have capitulated and put in a thermostacically controlled vent fan. We have floor vents on the west side of the coop, A large window on the South and 2 large windows on the West. We placed the fan high up on the north. Wow.....what a difference!!!! Egg production is back and it is really decent in the coop----even during the hottest part of the day. We have it set to kick on at 85 degrees. No worry about it tumping over, no worry about turning it off and on.....It has made the coop pleasant and taken away alot of stress. Purchased at Lowes with a vent cover around $125.00.
I just wanted to give our experience in case anyone was wondering.......
