Wet down some grass under a shady tree for them to lay in. I also freeze water filled soda bottles in the deep freezer and lay them out for them. They'll lay on them or stand on them to cool off.

I've been putting ice in their water and giving them frozen mulberries. I had to put a fan on them at night in the coop. I worry too, it's so hot.
