Help!!!!! somthing's wrong with my gray silkie!

[Chickenfur]

this morning i went out to the chicken coop and found my gray silkie pullet laying in a corner not moving, i picked her up and she looked weird but i thought she was OK so i set her back down. but i just went out there and she was still there (my chickens roam) she can't walk, she's breathing really deeply, and her heart is beating really fast!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!

Bring her inside so you can monitor her symptoms better... put electrolytes in water and dribble along beak.
What is/has been the temps? What are you feeding her? do you give fresh water daily (is there any puddles or stagnant sources of what she could have reached) Describe coop and beeding etc. and has it been wet?
How old is your silkie? What have you been feeding and how do you feed it?Is there any chance she might have been pecked on the head?

I'm not sure where you are but I think it must be the heat. I've lost 5 chickens in the last 2 days (out of 3 different pens), who were never sick. I found one of them (a Silkie and my first chicken) doing what you're describing yesterday. I brought her in and give her water and placed a fan nearby, but it was too late. I hope you can save yours.

She's doing a little better now we gave her some sugar water and put her under a heat lamp. I don't think it was the heat, she has dry bedding and she's about 18 weeks old. we have her inside right now. the temperature is about 75 with a pretty nice breeze. she could have gotten pecked, they normally get a mix of corn fine's, layer feed, and crushed oyster shells. she also won't eat i tried to tempt her with tomatoes, oats, lettuce, and dried mango. but she's still acting weird and can't get up.
