Hot chickens

A waterer in the shadiest place where they hang out, so they don't have to go out in the sun when they want a drink.

Plain water--if you offer electrolytes, make sure plain water is available too. That way they can drink the right amount of each to keep things properly balanced for themselves. (The right amount can change, depending on what else they're eating and the temperature and the weather and so forth.)

If they don't want to eat much--you can get ordinary chicken food wet with cold water. They seem to like it better that way. (Only do a small amount each time, so they eat it up before it has a chance to spoil.) That can help them get the right nutrients to stay healthy and keep laying eggs, even when they're too hot and thirsty to eat it dry.
