Try to get her drinking and cooled with cool but not icy water. Could she have been kept from water and feed? Make sure that you have multiple water stations, shade, and have good air circulation in the coop and run. Windows covered with hardware cloth wire help. Fans can help to pull air air through a coop.
 
Hi, did you bring her inside? How is she? Chickens cool with their feet, can you fill a shallow container with cool water and hold her in it? Also give her unflavored Gatorade or coconut water too hydrate her. Offer her cucumber or watermelon as well.
I brought her inside and offered her hydro hen she didn’t drink she passed away after 5 minutes it really sucks because she was a favorite and now I have 3 roosters and 10 hens so I need to get rid of 1 rooster and get more hens

What's the temp in your area? Is it indoors or out? Is this the only chick you have? Age? Did you get it from a feed store or breeder?
It was like 95 degrees Fahrenheit and she was an outdoors chicken since about 5 or 6 weeks because it was steadily in the 80s then she was 8 or 9 weeks and I got her from someone who picks up lots of chicks from hatcheries and raises well while she posts them on Facebook she had 12 other chickens with her

I had 3 hardware cloth windows and a fan in one the water was available and plentifully I made sure it was always 3 quarters full and that they knew where it was I think the heat just got to her she was loved and had space to run and shade to nap in plus a dust bath they made completely ignoring the one I made for them and churned up some dirt in a corner in the shade where the bathed bu the dust bath I made them turned to a cool mud plastic pool when It rained a couple days ago so they had that plus every other day I spray their run down making it damp so it’s cooler
 
You all were helpful and I thank you but sometimes things don’t go as planned so thanks again for the advice it will be useful in the future
