Too bad the temps in the desert swing so much in the winter.... LOL.... if it
wasn't for that could just hang them outside.
Overnight 20 degrees, yesterday mid-day 70. Today will probably be 65-70
again, then back down under freezing. That wouldn't be good for keeping
them outside. I do like the temperature swings though... so different than
S. Fl where overnight lows could be 80+ in the summer, and rarely under 60,
and humid YUK.

In the movie SHOGUN, with Richard Chamberlain, I recall one or more
chickens hanging from a line in a back yard, just essentially rotting
until deemed ready for kitchen preparation.

That is not a lemon; it is lemonade.
Build a small, insulated building about the size of a small outhouse.
By opening and closing ventilation doors at appropriate times you can
have a temporary cool house or hot house.
