Just like some placed in USA Delhi is kinda very hot

My boys live inside home
My question is

Do Chickens get heat stroke inside?
They eat Fresh Corn Also They Don't Like To Stop Eating Millet .
I started give some pomegranate in yoghurt .
My one roo whose a modren game bird
Seems like whenever he run he stops and open his wings wide ..

His poo little watery in the morning

His comb is Bright Red , wattles red , Eyes And nose Clean Bright
His Feet's Are Warm And Hot Also His Comb And Wattles

Is it normal ?
Any suggestions
Advice's ?
Can I buy some electrolyte ?

Yes, whether indoors or outside, if the temperature is getting up there where you feel uncomfortable, so will chickens. All the symptoms you describe are signs of overheating and heat stress can set in if they don't get relief.

First, hold back on the corn. It really stokes the metabolism of chickens and generates lots of body heat they do not need in hot weather.

Provide shade when inside or out, as well as a cooling breeze from a fan if possible. And yes, electrolytes will definitely help. But you can make your own easily from things you have on hand.
Measurements are western, sorry.

1/2 cup hot water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon flavored jello (optional, but chickens adore the taste, especially the red ones)
Dissolve together.

Mix above ingredients with 3 1/2 cups cold water

Give this mixture undiluted to your chickens as their sole water source in hot weather.

Oh okay I'll stop corn ..
I will make this electrolyte
What about millet ?
They like to eat millet all the time

Millet is all right. It's not nearly the heavy carbs as corn is. And it has a nutritious protein content your chickens need.
