Yesterday one of my hens layed her first egg and got heat stroke at the same time. I brought her inside as soon as I found her and put water under her feathers to try and cool her off. I put her on a cool wet towel and in front of a fan in the coolest room in the house to bring her temp down to normal. She wasn't drinking on her own, so I used a clean syringe and squirted water into her mouth. She didn't resist. I put her into a Pet Taxi and kept her inside the rest of the day and overnight. It's 5:00 a.m. and she is just laying in the pet taxi and not drinking on her own. I squirted water into her mouth again this morning and she didn't resist. She hasn't eaten since yesterday, her stool is watery and I took the top of the pet taxi off, she stood up and tried to roost on the side. I caught it just before it started to tip over. But when I went to clean it out and move her to a clean place, I found this almost clear long sac with fluid and something else inside of it. She also has something hanging from her bottom. I don't know if I should let her push it out or pull it out. I don't know what to do for her, other than keep her clean and hydrated
