We have put frozen water bottles out for them but they didn't seem to know what to make of them. I will try the chilled watermelon for sure. Thanks for the ideas!

For sure! I mean everyone know what happens when one gorges on too much fruit, right? haha!I have an observation to share, I have noticed that when I give cold melons to my flock (watermelon and cantaloupes) the do get very loose poop, more than they normally have after drinking lots of water throughout the day, so I give them the melons in the mornings, by the time the go to roost, the loose poop is not that bad and the roosting boxes are easier to clean.
They certainly love to dust bathe on cool sand in the run, everyday I sprinkle some water in some spots under the fans to make it a little damp and also I do agree with not giving them ACV when it's hot and adding several pans with cool water
