@sadieml Sorry about your roo. 
So glad that we don't get the humidity that you do. It gets plenty hot here, well over 100°; sometimes 110° or more but it a dry heat and the animals do pretty well with it.
When I had a litter of pups one summer I bought the string of misters that attach to a garden hose and tied it near the whelping box and had a fan too. I left the fan on all of the time and once an hour the misters would come on for about 2 minutes. I didn't want to get the pups really wet, just cool off the area they were in, it worked great. But for the goats I use one of those rain bird type sprinklers that covers a large are and the pigs had just a cheap fan one that I had suspended over part of their pen so it rained down on them. They loved it.
The chickens love the damp ground too; they take dust bathes in the cool soil and them just lay in the holes they make. The dogs like it too.
