Our temps have been in the upper 90's (yesterday was 100) with a heat index of 103 to 110 for the last week or two and I cant say that my birds have really shown signs of being overly hot.
I provide plenty of fresh water, air, and shade that's it. I haven't had to put ice or frozen foods out for them at all, I did drop the protein of some of the birds feed (they were on a feed that was 20% protein or higher) by adding scratch since over feeding protein will make your birds very hot but other than provide plenty of fresh water, air, and shade that's it. In fact my free-rang birds are out and about like any other (less hot) day.
