so my hens free-range during the day and its currently 84 here but one of my hens has her wings slightly spread and has pale wattle and combs she is one of my first chickens and i have only had her for about a year so I'm fairly new to chickens i filled all their waters and gave the hens some grapes to try and hydrate them a little bit but I'm not sure what else to do or if this is even a serious thing

Do you have electrolytes?
 
Get a pan of water, just cool, not freezing, and soak her legs in it. She might be having a hard time getting to water or food, or being kept away by others, so offer water with some electrolytes, Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc. Give some more details of her age, if she lays eggs, what her poop looks like, or if she is overweight or underweight. Check her crop to feel if it is empty, full, puffy, doughy, or firm.
