Found chicken sitting in snow, won't move

[kh1988]

Yesterday in Ct we got like a foot of snow. I went out to check on the chickens, and found one of them outside sitting in the snow almost covered in snow. I picked her up and placed her in the coop because I had to go to work, when I got back from work she still hadn't moved. So I took her inside the house last night and she still hasn't stood up, she just sits there. Seems fairly alert, just won't stand up or move. She was fine the day before, and then all the sudden she's buried in snow not moving. Any thoughts, thank you?

@ChickenCanoe Any suggestions?

Poor girl! Hope she recovers quickly and easily!

I would definitely bring the bird indoors and give a warm environment where she can better handle whatever is ailing her.
You'll be able to observe her more closely to try and determine why she isn't moving.

Maybe a northern will think of something other than frostbite. @BantyChooks
for your hen

Northerner to the rescue! Is she bobbing up and down? If her tail pushed down? If so she may be eggbound.

Not bobbing, and tail is not down

Is she warm enough now? Can you post some pictures of her feet?

It's a red sex link, no visible frost bite on feet. Slight slight on the tips of comb,but I don't think thats keeping her from walking. It's been cold here in ct, below 0. My other sex links are holding up ok. She is in my house now, about 65deg.

Can you post some pictures of her and her feet?
