    2 dead chickens. hypothermia not treated properly?

    Hi. We have had some -30 days and nights. First chicken was frosty so I brought her inside,(gradually) gave her food and water. She drank a lot and seemed to be better for a couple days,then suddenly died. What did I do wrong? :(

    Is this a Cornish Roo?

    I'm not sure. She said 6 months but I think hes older than that. This lady had quite a few chickens,I dont think she really knew much about him..
