How hot is too hot for guinea keets?

We recently moved our 4 week old keets out of a brooder into a nursery in our barn. They still have a heat lamp at night when it's in the high 60's, low 70's but we're having a couple days of 95 plus degree temperatures and high humidity and we're worried about them getting too hot. We did put a fan next to nursery so it just goes through one part of it and they seem to be hanging out in that area. They're beaks are open a lot and they're waddles, I guess, are vibrating, what does that mean? Thank you so much.

Guineas are from an African desert, so I think its not the heat that bothers them, its the humidity. It sounds like they're panting. As long as their area is kept clean and they have water, they will be fine.

I guess I forget they are from Africe because I hear people say they'll be also be fine in the snow and I worry about that. They have seemed to stopped the panting. Thank you.
