Yes you can do that too.

Lower the level of the pool and set brick's on the bottom and make an area they can stand on the water soaked brick. They do not like to get in water, wet feathers prevent them to cool down, Shade, cold water and a light breeze. They will be ok.

Do not mist the chickens, it will make their feathers mat and get hotter.

They live in a pasture with our horse mini donkey and goat which has woods. I always make sure they have water and they have many shaded spots where they like to bathe.

That pretty much covers it. If you need more shade get a patio umbrella off ebay. If the sun hits my drinkers at any point in the day I put an upside down plastic plant pot over top of them, not sure how effective that is, but at least the sun isn't bearing down on the drinker itself.

If you have high humidity skip any kind of misting, it just makes things worse.

90 F (32 C) for a high isn't bad as long as they have water and shade as long as they are reasonably healthy. A sick chicken can suffer more. Once it hits 100 F you get into more dangerous territory.

When my temperatures got over 105 F one or sometimes two would stand in water bowls to cool down. The vast majority did not. They are living animals and will do what they are going to do. You cannot force them, just make it available.

In hot dry climates you can make a swamp cooler. That's where a fan blows through misting water. I'm not in a hot dry climate.

When it is really hot there is generally no rain so the ground gets dry. I'll spray a part of the run in the shade with water to wet it down. The evaporation cools the dirt. Some "dust-bathe" in that wet soil. When it is that hot the soil dries out long before you get any problems with the run staying wet. We all have different conditions so we need to figure out what works for us.

Again, 90 F isn't that bad as long as they have water and shade. And they need ventilation at night.
