In hot weather the hens will very likely drink the water again if you leave them long enough. If you are worried you could try giving mixed cucumber juice and water then tomorrow reduce the amount of cucumber juice to just a few drops. The next day no cucumber juice and they might not notice. Are you giving water in the same vessel as the juice?

Yes same

Maybe cut cucumber slices and put them in the water to infuse the taste... like ‘spa water’. Perhaps your hen is just fancy

As far as I know there aren’t any issues.. I feed them to mine during the spring/summer and have never had any problems
