I just looked at the temp in my coop and it's 108, yep they are panting too. I have a $10. free standing mist system close to them, it helps I think. Here in Arizona frozen bottles of water last about an hour if you're lucky - didn't work for me. Let them dig down in the dirt, it's cooler there, and sun shade material is much better than a sheet - they need air flow. I have 2 month old chickens out there, and they do better than my year old hens! Let them dig a hole, and if it gets hotter a hose on them is appreciated - even though they act like they hate it!
