Possible Heatstroke?

[Egger Anna]

I've been very concerned about my Easter Egger, Snowy. She has been screaming when she is laying lately, and its really hot outside, so I'm thinking she is overheating but I'm not quite sure. Each time she does this I take her out of the box and spray her with the hose. I'm really concerned if I'm away she might have a heatstroke while I'm gone. Any ideas how I can keep my coop cooler?

You can try giving them a bowl of ice water, i’ve also seen where people get a bowl or tray or something of ice water and put a brick on it so that the chickens can stand on the brick and get cooled off. You can also try freezing some vegetables and water in a container and giving it to them.

If your coop is in full sun provide some shade(block the sun with a trap)

Not a good idea.
I doubt it's the heat making her scream.
More info about your location and coop(pics) would help us help you.

But here's some things that helped my flock:
