Chicken got caught - help

[LynneP]

All you can do now is massage and hope. Is she breathing?
The problem with hanging upside down, even for short periods, is that it impairs a chicken's ability to breathe, and she may have suffered brain damage. If she is warm, there is a chance, but warmth requires oxygen too. I'm so sorry you're going through this- I'm nervous about string, baling twine, anything like that around any animals.

She is consious and breathing, she is doing good.

Has she had any water or food yet?

she's in shock, keep her in a box in a warm room, try to keep her head up.... use a towell for support.

how is she now???

 

[EC]

I don't know if she is consious, she is blinking. We have her in front of the wood stove.

We just gave her a half a syringe of water, and she swallowed it!

Unfortunately, we did all we could for her. She died, due to a seizure, tonight at 7:18 PST. My sister and I did the best we could. Thanks everyone for posting.

Sorry she didn't make it.
