I'm in CA too and my advice about wetting the ground is, it raises the humidity. Dry heat vs. moist heat. Some animals don't care for the high humidity and my chickens don't care for it. We have dry heat here and they have acclimated to that type of heat. If you were in FL, they would be used to the humidity and heat.
Just my idea about it all. Shade has been the best answer for my birds and if they are out and about, they do like to be under bushes who have moist soil but newly damp soil.
Anyhoo, keep those babies cool!
