Chickens stay cool primarily by seeking shade, reducing their activity during the hottest parts of the day, and using their respiratory system to regulate body temperature. They often pant to release heat through evaporation, similar to how dogs cool down. Additionally, they may dust bathe in cool soil or sand to help lower their body temperature. Providing fresh water and adequate ventilation in their living environment also aids in keeping them cool.
