Do my hen got out of her coop this morning while I was at school and was out all day without access to water and she's not looking too good. She's acting like she's sleepy and her comb is folded over. I'm very worried so does anybody have any advice about to rehydrate her quickly?
Edit: I got electrolytes and mixed in her water and held the water to her beak, but she still wouldn't drink. So I got an oral syringe and gave her about 4 ccs and she took it well. After I gave her a couple mealworms and she seemed to be doing better and walking around more, but she still won't drink by herself. She went inside her coop and is resting rt now but I'll probably give her more water before the night is over. And thank you for all your help!
