Thank you for the recommendations. I know it's a joke to call what we've been having a "heatwave." But it's pretty dern hot for us.
I have been giving my girls some watermelon, misted them and their run... mostly their run to keep it damp, and wet the grass in the yard. I noticed when their feet are wet they seem cooler.
I agree about the black feathers making them hotter. I haven't seen my buff pant at all. I'm a first time chicken owner so I tend to freak out about every little thing. I suppose it's like parenting your first child. I'm getting better though.
