    Good luck with the chickens. Here is some advice to consider. I don't know if these are possible for you but just thoughts to consider.

    Optimize Ventilation with Thermal Buoyancy: Beyond basic ventilation, you can implement thermal buoyancy by strategically placing vents at different heights in the coop. Hot air rises, so having vents near the roof allows heat to escape, while lower vents pull in cooler air. This natural convection creates a steady airflow, efficiently regulating temperatures in tight spaces. Reducing heat stress through improved ventilation keeps chickens more comfortable, minimizing disruptions to their health and egg production.

    Offer Electrolyte-Rich Water to Counter Heat Stress: In hot climates, chickens pant to cool down, losing vital minerals in the process. Providing water enriched with electrolytes helps replace those lost minerals and keeps them hydrated. This measure mitigates the impact of heat stress on their overall health and egg production. Consider advanced electrolyte mixtures that also include vitamins such as A, D, and E, which aid in recovery from heat exposure and support immune function.
