The green way to cool the coop. Erect a tarp to create shade on the coop if it needs shade.

Also a good idea to get rid of the bad air and replace it with fresh air. But, putting a fan on a chicken will not cool it down. No sweat, no evaporation, no cooling. Period.

Providing your birds with shade, cool water, and fresh air is all you can do. Any more and you are doing it to make yourself feel better.
