How do the bunnies and chickens survive 100 degree heat? Just fine! I lost my favorite chicken (Ramona) to the heat last year after she got locked out of the area where the water was under the old coop we used to have. This summer I’m determined not to lose another animal, so got a new coop, installed a misting system, set up multiple sources of shade, and have three high speed fans going, and put in a temperature gage which alerts me when the surface air in the runs go up over 90 degrees . The misting system goes on for about ten minutes every hour and amazingly brings the surface air level down to about 70 degrees (even during the hottest part of the day). My water bill is going to suck, but it’s worth it keeping our babies happy and safe.

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this page. A lot has changed since my last post. We lost some of our favorite chooks, gained some new ones, and made significant improvements to the “Chicken Coupe”. My beloved Thelma passed away awhile ago, as did her partner Louise. We raised a few chicks, Ramona and Beezus, but lost Ramona during a heat waive last summer. I was devastated by her loss when she accidentally got locked out of the area where her waterer was. She was a spicy little chicken nugget but loving at the same time. We learned a lot from that experience and made improvements to the chicken run to better protect the clucks from the heat, adding a bigger waterer in more easily accessible part of the run, and we added a misting system for those especially hot days. Recently (as of this week) we upgraded the actual coop by adding the Medium sized OverEZ chicken “mansion” (as I call it). So far the ladies (Mazzie and Beezus) have taken a liking to it. Mazzie was added to the flock shortly after Ramona’s death to keep Beezus company. The two have become best of friends since. That’s the latest for now, but I’ll try and be better about keeping everyone up to date on what’s going on in the “Chicken Coupe”.
