Living in Florida, I deal with heat most of the year. We have A/C in our homes, and vehicles. It's a must. Iced tea, lemonade, gatorade, and/or cold water are a must haves too. Get up early to do outside things, rest during the hottest couple hours of the day, and resume working in the evening. Fans, wet cloths, straw hats, and a pool, if you can, all help with the summer heat.
For the chickens, my coop has plenty of fan power, and if it gets too hot, I cool the roof on the coop with a hose, or sprinkler. Putting feeders, and water buckets in the shade is a must. Floating frozen water bottles in their water buckets is good. Cool wet spots for the chickens, a cool treat if it's really hot, and adding some gatorade to their water does wonders. If it's extremely hot, I mist the chickens with the hose, when I make a cool wet spot for them.
