Help! My chicken got to cold!

[The Red Rooster]

UPDATE!!!

She looks better! Shes more alert, walking around, eating. I haven't seen her drink yet.




I went into the coop this morning, and saw the black bantam was sick. She got to cold. Her wings are dropy and she is very tired. I think shes going to die.

What can I do???

 

[The Red Rooster]

Anyone? I need help before she dies!

Bring her inside, give her water with electrolytes- keep her in a warm dark place. I hope she recovers!

I am not sure that was caused by being to cold??

We need more clues....
How old is she? If a layer has she been laying? Breathing assessment? Eating and Drinking? Stool color? Go to the index and under emergency and illness, there is a sticky to help you know what data is needed so others can help you.

Sorry she is ill.

Also go to the search up above. And type in chickens with colds. There is a bunch of info that could help you there. I hope it gets better fast. Please keep us informed. Good luck.

Thank you everyone! She is doing better now. I think she will be ok!

Unless she was under feathered and and less than 5 weeks old your South Dakota weather wont effect her. Low's of 40 F is nothing for a feathered chicken. It must have been something else going on.

I am so happy for her and you.
