    Deb, my chickens are under a carport which is enclosed with wire. In the winter, I buy heavy duty plastic and staple it over the wire. Your temps are much higher than mine so I would stack bales of grass hay and cover with tarps or the plastic. Hay bales add insulation. Grass hay can also be used for bedding. They are both easily removed. We have hot, humid summers which means I have to remove the plastic every spring. Plus the grass hay is used in the garden as mulch and composted. My hay was 6.00 a bale and never been sprayed. I am on tight budget. LOL
