I have been freezing water bottles for my chickens then I wrap them in cloth scraps and putting them in the coop- maybe one of the nest boxes. they don't lay on the water bottles but it helps to keep it cool in the coop. I also use small ice blocks like you might put in a small cooler, to keep things cold I also wrap those in scrap cloth, or put them in an old feed sack.. I make sure I have lots of extra water tubs for them to drink from as well. And I put a fan in the coop.
Another thing I did was put up a screen door instead of a regular door for the summer to cool things out, and I have gotten extra doors or boards from scrap yards to lean on the coop to use as sun shades, and to keep sun off coop. I also put up cloth to shade some areas.
