Droopy Comb and Tail

[spicewood chick]

My girl is usually very spunky and sprite but I got hime from work today which wasn’t an overly hot day and she was standing in an empty tray which usually holds ice water to cool them down and her comb and tail were droopy and she let me easily pick her up and hold her and her crop was empty and has a mess behind. What do you think might be going on

She could be ill....or heat stressed/stroked, despite not being and "overly hot day".
Are they're really days like that in TX
Messy butt could be from illness or just the amount of water going thru them on hot days can make for loose poops.

I give a dose of Sav-a-Chick electrolytes/vitamins about once a week during heat waves. It really seems to help....started this after they saved a heat stroked hen once.
Can mix up a smaller amount, just wrap the packet tight and store in a dry cool place. Always have plain water available too.

BIG(9x14x2") chunks of ice last all day for wading, sitting, and sipping.
Much more useful to the chickens than frozen foods and treats.

Make space in your freezer!
