11 days no food or water

Glad that you found her. It is easy for chickens to fall or to try to get away from others, and end up getting stuck in between objects inside and out the coop. We had a poor little Polish hen who was always ending up missing, and we would find her stuck somewhere or hiding. I have made sure that no one can get stuck anymore. Each evening, I also do a head count before locking the coop.

Fluids with electrolytes are best at first. When fully hydrated, offer small amounts of food at first, as others have suggested. Hopefully, she hasn’t suffered any injuries or other problems. Keep us updated on her progress.
 
:popkeep us updated please?
She is looking so much better! No cuts or bruises thankfully. She is moving around more and seems happy. We are so lucky to say the lease.

Update! Integrating her back with the flock. She is doing great and enjoying some free range time. Still has weight to put on but looks good.

That is awesome! Now that you know that you can handle this sort of thing, if you found it adventurous. Get you some turkeys. (Hint: Mine are all named Darwin.)
only if you can keep em outta rain storms from what I hear, I like my sanity to much to try that lol
