Help my hen was found floating in the duck pond!

My hen was found floating in the duck pond. She is sorta panting and will not stand or move. Is there anything I can do to help her???

Isolate her, bring her inside and keep her warm.
I've used towels, and once I actaully set mine on a warm bag of water.

This has happened to mine before, and if you keep them warm they usually perk up in an hour or so.

I have taken the blow dryer to mine before. Solves both wet and cold.

Most of my chicks love the blow dryer. After the first initial burst of noise and cold air, they relax, poop and then they are in a trance until I turn it off. lol
