We are prepping our girls for a hot summer ahead, and are being pro-active with keeping the coop cool for the summer. One way we are helping them out is installing solar powered fans to circulate the air in the coop. Hopefully this will make them nice and comfy!

Yes, your chickens are definitely getting spoiled 😂 Steph & Buddy, you both are Wonderful 💖🙏

@crystalnobody4689 Год назад

Stick another fan on the other side drawing air out and it will have better circulation of air going through the coop keeping out hot air.

@thedenmanhomestead Год назад

We figured with the giant screen door it will create a suction naturally. We will try it for now and see.

@crystalnobody4689 Год назад

@@thedenmanhomestead No I lived in a trailer with no air conditioner so it's like a giant chicken coop. You could open every window in the trailer and you still roast to death, BUT if you stuck a fan sucking air in on the shaded side it would cool it a little if you placed a fan blowing out on the sunny side on a 90* to 100* day the house would be 75*. The constant moving of hot air out and cool air in would keep it cooler. And I was around 5 moths Prego in 1987 when temps in Mankato got up to 104* in April so I needed that cool air bad because it was massively hot that year.

@nancysala7769 Год назад

I would not have cut the top of the metal wall, so you could bend it up and let it there to be a roof for the fan. Basically protecting the fan from rain.

@thedenmanhomestead Год назад

Its ok, its weatherproof :)

@Karen-vf2ni Год назад

Will the rain blow into the coop from the fan opening?

@thedenmanhomestead Год назад

It would have to be a major sideways rain. It's covered under a lip of the roof line

@Whome111 Год назад

Just a suggestion, but since heat rises, do you think one fan could be placed high up to draw the hot air out, then one fan placed lower to draw air in.

@stevewill1940 Год назад

you mean when the sun isnt out powering the fans?

@suzannmiller1468 Год назад

That was a good idea for your spoiled chickens. Got to keep them happy so you get some great eggs. Thankyou and have a happy day. 😊 I love it when Elora is out wanting to help.

Your chicken coop really looks fantastic. Those chickens are definitely living their best lives, now that they have fans to keep them cool. They're very spoiled chickens. Hope y'all have a wonderful and blessed day.

Great video and God bless y'all keep up the great job y'all 🙏🥰

@kandydewey1286 Год назад

Hi guys! Good morning! Just a quick thought while watching this. Anything and I do mean anything you buy without instructions especially electronic you can find on RU-vid step by step instructions. I figured this out awhile ago when a lot of products started going paperless. sucks in someways but I learn by watching better anyway. Just a tip. Looks good guys. Have a blessed day

@tonidavis1045 Год назад

You might want to hang a tarp over the coop so the shed doesn't get direct Texas sun! It would keep the coop atleast 10 degrees cooler.😊

@araefox Год назад

I used a sun sail, works great!

I've been watching your videos to catch up. Heads up rhubarb leaves are toxic to humans. Growing up I learned that the hard way. Check out Three Sisters planting. Once you read about it I think you might want to try it. Love your garden. Our city water is too costly to grow one so I'll watch yours😊

@sheilataylor9579 Год назад

That’s a great idea with the fan. I’m curious, will the chickens be able to fly up at the fan, and get their feet/beaks into the fan blades? If need to, maybe a screen in front of the fan blades. Instead of being sent to the dog house, now sent to the chicken coop.

Definitely, a little shade above the run will be appreciated even if you just attach some 40% shade cloth over part of it. But they are protected by aerial as well as ground predators! Looks good!

@shelbysmith6652 Год назад

Hi guys so glad you put the fan in. During the heat of the day you push the air out. At night you pull the fresh air in to cool. I'm so glad to heard me, I'm so isolated, I feel a little part. I hope circulating the air will comfort the chicks!! Blessings Always!!

@angelaware4403 Год назад

@elegantcourtier 3 месяца назад

I live in Florida, where the heat can soar up to the 90s mid-morning. Even though the coop is properly vented, the coop swelters like a sauna at night. As a temporary solution, I use a portable camping fan to dissipate the heat. I need a solar solution to charge a battery and trigger a night fan for temperature management. Running a fan during daylight hours would not be advantageous here. Your flock should be out foraging during the day except when laying eggs in the coop.

@carolcrawford3481 Год назад

The fan is a great idea!!

@Willowandbella Год назад

You and Buddy are such a cute couple. Love how you’re taking such good care of your chickens.

@Mary-hk7uz Год назад

Great Job! 👍

@marscounty 3 месяца назад

One fan should pull air in and the other pushes air out. If you set both fans pulling air out they will fight each other. And you won't really cool the shed

@alicewistrand210 Год назад

Hi Buddy and Steph, I knew you’d both figure it out without instructions. My thought was, do you blow air in or draw out. Maybe just a return air vent on opposite side would make cross ventilation or that could come from screen door too. Nice fan though! Live watching you brainstorm together.

@pattdunn9845 Год назад

I thought that as well.

@alicewistrand210 Год назад

I also read that fermenting their feed produces more eggs

@lindarunneals9463 Год назад

That should make you chickens cool enough to lay some pretty good eggs! One can only hope....🥚🥚🐔🐓🐣🐤🐤 ❤❤

@pattdunn9845 Год назад

I'm just curious about how to keep rain from getting in? Maybe a thin ( metal piece) awning on the outside? I have visions of flash dance (movie ) type dancing chickens on the roosting boxes. 😆 🤣 Good team effort of brainstorming.

@lillianblair6071 Год назад

Good morning Stephanie and Buddy. Hmmm okay you make it work w/o instructions. What I would have done is google the item name and model number and seen if any info would have come up. It looks like you two like to try things on your own. The other thing I was thinking of was to enclose or tape up your spaces underneath where the sun was coming thru. I am on this side of the computer screen sure hope it works great for you throughout the spring, summer and fall and winter for you. Thanks for sharing. HAGD.
