Shade and breeze are the most important factors, IMO. (Well, obviously they need plenty of fresh water as well.) Remember that chickens tolerate cold much better than heat. Every year I read about some people losing birds to heat in the summer. Here is a thread with some very good ideas about how to house chickens in warm
