I have a Rhode Island Red hen who has suffered Heat Stroke, I found her at 5am this morning listless I thought she was dead. To my amazement my other hens were trying to comfort her. One gently touched her beak and she stirred. I picked her up and held here patted her and tried to comfort her.
I have got her indoors and in air-conditioning. I have given her a few drops of water by eye dropper and am about to get some electrolytes for her.
With temps well over 100 ( 35+ Centigrade) they are all feeling it, but this girl seems more susceptible to the heat.
Some might say she's only a chicken but we love our hens they all have their names and they all come running when we are in the yard.
