How hot is too hot for 5 week old guineas?

[Stormimay]

They are outside in a large 42"dog crate without the tray in the bottom so they can eat grass and bugs. They have water, food, and plenty of grass. Half of the crate has a tarp over it so that there is some shade. They have two roosts. There are 5 guineas in with 3 seven week old chickens. It is 100 degrees outside and they appear to be panting. Should I put ice in their water or cover them completely or add a fan or just let them learn to deal? Thank you!

Mine are outside as well and they are also 5 weeks old this past Saturday. It has been in the 90's here and everything outside if panting. My chickens, turkeys, guineas, bunnies, even the wild birds.

Mine are in a chain link dog kennel with a tarp over the top for shade on half of it, and they are in a cardboard box with wire over the top so they can't get out as they get through the fencing and get into the neighbors fields. I change their water 3 times a day, the same for all the critters. They get fresh water in the morning, noon and around 6 pm. I also put ice in the water, they seem to like it. The turkeys and some chickens will actually get in the water troughs and stand, even acting like birds in a bird bath, fluffing their wings in the cold water. They stand there and then get out, fluff up and seem to feel better.

They are from Africa and can take heat. Panting is how they regulate their temperature like a dog.
