I am in the Phoenix area, and it's been a terrible summer, of course. I agree with what everyone has said. Also, my Orpington in particular likes to wade in these little dishes. I leave them around the yard in shady spots, they all both drink and wade in them. For example:

And they all like muddy spots to cool down their feet. Here is the Orpington in one of the pools. :)

Thank you! I will be putting out dishes of water for them and provide some muddy places for them. :)

I'm in Dallas, Texas area. It's been 102 - 105 consistently for 4 to 5 days. My Buffs are 18 weeks old. Full feathered and are doing very well. Extremely healthy. I give them free range on .45 acres. Seems that they are able to adjust to the heat and fend for themselves well. They get a really good mix of greens, proteins as well as fruits and vegetables. I just cut up a watermelon for them as a treat.

Thank you! I will be free-ranging them today and offering some water-laden treats.
 
Mine like a small pool, and tarp.
