Hen found head down in the dirt (Sussex chicken)

[whiskaye]

Today we found or hen head down in the dirt non responsive but breathing, mind you we are in Las Vegas where it's constantly hot and humid (100F & monsoon season) we can feel the mid bone underneath her now as well. If anyone has encountered this before please let us know. (I'm sorry I can't give anymore info as I'm not sure on her age and weight)

Hello! Unwrap her and remove the straw, both will make her hotter. Cool her down, put her feet in an inch of room temp water and put a fan on her. Give fluids. If shes not drinking, dip your finger into plain Gatorade or if you have chicken electrolytes use that, then put to side of her break and watch her drink, you should see crop moving.
