To analytical:
I live about 45 miles east of you so I am at the same altitude and approximately at the same temperature.
What you can do first is to get a silver-coloured tarp from Harbor Freight and drape that over your whitish coop cover. This will lower the coop temperature a bit more.
Next make sure you need to stop the sun from getting anywhere inside your coop so cover the south and east side of the coop, so it is always in the shade.
Make sure you do not stop the wind from going thru the coop.
If needed you can place a huge fan on one side and create some artificial wind in the coop to get the air moving.
Make sure there is always sufficient water available!!
So if you leave the west- and north-side somewhat open, there should still be enough light for the chickens to be happy.
Get 18% Layer crumb from IFA and start feeding them that!
Their egg-laying boxes.
They should be in the shaded area for this hot time. Put about two inches of pine shavings on the bottom and cover the egg boxes with some dark tarp if in the sun.
Hope this helps.
