It's been in the 90's here in Seattle (hot for us!) and our chickens are panting like crazy. We've been doing the ice cubes in the water dish trick as well as frozen treats--I gave them a scrambled egg that had been in the freezer for a little bit. Another trick I used was wetting a light dish towel with cold water and wrapping it around each chicken as she sat on my lap--it seemed to help a little. A farm vet was out at our house today and said not to worry about the panting, etc. and that chickens like the heat (?).
