She is probably too cold to do anything. I would warm her up immediately first before anything else. Giving electrolytes & probiotics may help her recover from the shock to her system. Depending on where you live they shouldn't go outside until 8 weeks. I would say 5 weeks bare minimum for heritage breeds; that is if it is warm outside and you have enough poults to cuddle and keep warm through the night. My broad breasted were okay at 4 weeks but they are much bigger at that age than heritage. You were on the wrong end of some very bad advice. I hope she pulls through.
