Why Your Chicken Coop Needs a Solar Fan – Keep Your Hens Cool, Healthy & Happy

Raising backyard chickens is rewarding, but many coop owners overlook one critical factor: ventilation. Whether you're in sunny California or a humid southern state, heat and moisture build-up inside a chicken coop can lead to major problems — from respiratory issues to egg production drops, even chicken fatalities.

☀️ The Problem with Hot Chicken Coops

Chickens are sensitive to heat. When coops become stuffy or humid:

• Respiratory diseases thrive due to poor air quality.

• Ammonia from droppings builds up fast without fresh air.

• Egg-laying declines when hens are stressed or overheated.

• Parasites and mold can grow in damp bedding.

Even if your coop has windows or vents, they’re not always enough — especially in summer or when air is still.

✅ The Solution: A Solar-Powered Chicken Coop Fan

At Amtrak Solar, we offer a 50-Watt solar fan designed to quietly and effectively ventilate small enclosed spaces — making it perfect for chicken coops.

Here’s why chicken keepers love our solar fan:

• 🔇 Whisper-Quiet operation won’t stress your birds.

• 💨 Powerful airflow removes heat, odors, and moisture.

• 🛠️ Easy DIY setup — no electricians, no permits, no wiring.

• ☀️ Runs automatically with the sun — no electricity needed.

• 🐣 Safe for use around animals, with a 12V low-voltage system.

🧰 How to Install It in Your Coop

Installing our fan is simple:

1. Mount the solar panel on the roof or outside wall facing the sun.

2. Install the 12V fan inside the coop — behind a vent, or wherever air circulation is needed most.

3. Plug in the included wire harness — no electrical knowledge required.

Optional: Ask us for a free thermostat, so the fan automatically turns on at 80°F and off at 70°F.

🐓 Happy Hens, Better Eggs

Customers have reported:

• Healthier, more active birds

• Reduced smell in and around the coop

• Consistent egg production — even on hot days

And since it’s powered by the sun, you’ll never pay an electric bill.
