I found 2 dead hens tonight.

Chicken coop is inside a 3 wall barn so they can get out of the direct sunlight. They have plenty of water. All have their mouths open trying to cool down. Next 10 days high above 105ºF.

I'm thinking about freezing water in milk jugs and putting one out there for them each morning before work. Any other ideas to help them cool off?

Frozen fruit and veggies. Slices of watermelon, halved tomatoes, etc. You have table scraps, freeze them tonight, hand em out tommorow. Anything cheap or readily available. You'll have to throw it to them through our the day. Ice in their water bowls. If you have large bowls, just fill plastic take away sized containers with water and freeze overnight. Toss them in as needed
