Hi! South Florida guy new to chickens. I "saved" three hens from certain death in the hands of hungry owners in the eyes of my wife now i have to keep them healthy. Heat is going to be a big challenge here. They have shade and a Fan they like to sit in front of, Sometimes I add ice to their water. any other ideas?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Deep shade over damp ground with a fan. You can also freeze water in plastic bottles and bury them in that shady area.
