Any other suggestions for dealing with the heat?

Yesterday was 95 and today is 100 with a feel like temp. of 108. We have only had our chicks out in the coop/run for less than a week so we are new to this. We have two fans running, multiple water sources which I add ice too throughout the day. I have given them frozen veggies and fruits (which they aren’t interested in), put a frozen jug of water in the run for them to lay against (haven’t seen them do it), throw ice cubes on the ground, put their feet in a shallow pan of water (didn’t like it) and spray down areas of the run. They have plenty of shade throughout the day and a dust bath.
Is there anything else I could/should be doing to help them through this heat? My feathered footed Brahma seems to be panting the worst.

Where your fans are running, put your bowl of ice. This will blow cooled air. It is called a swamp fan and are sold for human house use, but there's no reason you can't turn your fans into swamp air conditioners.

Welcome to BYC. Where, in general, are you? Climate matters, especially when it comes to housing. Without knowing your location we don't know if you're dealing with 88F or 108F.

Regardless, here's my article on the subject: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/hot-climate-chicken-housing-and-care.77263/

Thanks, I did do this as well.
