Chicken got caught - help

[EC]

A chicken got caught on a string and was hanging upside down all night. Now she is sorta stiff, she is hypo thermic, and unconsious. But she is alive. What are some of the things I can do?

OMGoodness I hope she'll be okay. I would think get her warm and try to get a fluid into her. Good luck

I am sorry. I don't know much, but don't get her too warm too fast.

 

[EC]

Thanks guys. She is doing a little better.

 

[inksville]

Is she awake now?

 

[EC]

Yes, she moved her head.

Not much more you can do than this. Good luck and sorry your intro to BYC is under such circumstances.

Separate her & warm her up in a dog crate, laundry basket, box, whatever, in the house. It's really like she'll spring back and be fine once her body temp is back to normal.

And, of course, remove the string from the coop.

Welcome to BYC.

She is unconsious again.
