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?

108 for chicken is a bit low. Knock the temp up, 165° for a few seconds and you'll be golden. In all honesty though, outdoor fan and or misters. Extension cords are cheap. If that's too expensive, do them and you a favor and take the original advice.
