How do I revive my hen from heat exhaustion and dehydration

[Castaway]

My chicken appears to dying. She and another chicken were in the coop and it appears there was not enough water.

I wish I could help. I can only suggest try putting her in a cool place and giving her some water with a syringe. Maybe that will help if it's not too late.

Get to a farm supply store,feed store or pet shop ASAP and get the electrolytes you mix in their water. Mix up a batch and make sure it's good cooll water. Keep it fresh and cool. That will help replenish her system.

I moved to a cooler place and put ice on and around her. She doesn't move unless to douse her with water, and then only to crawl a inch or two. I don't have syringe.

I'm off to the store. How do get her to drink it?

Get a syringe while you're there!!
Good luck

Having the ice around her and cooler area will help but she really needs to drink plenty of water to get over the dehydration. The electrolytes I mentioned work similar to Gatorade for someone working or playing sports. Everyone should have a stash of electrolytes and vitamins on hand for emergencies(helps when you have sick chickens too).

I would try giving gatorade now and have a family member rush off to supply store. If you don't have a syringe try dripping beak into the gatorade. My chickens love gatorade. Wishing you well

I'm back from the store. good news is she tried to walk. And did for a short time. Now she's resting.
