My 8 month old dark Brahma hen BB was found yesterday am on the coop floor limp and cold but still alive. I brought her in put her in a laundry basket near our wood stove and immediately put some warm sugar water in her mouth. I also put a dab of honey on her tongue. I had to run down the road for a few hours and when I came back there wasn't much change. I picked her up and ran a blow dryer on her for about 20 minutes and gave her some more warm sugar water. She is rather thin I think the other girls were keeping her away from the feeder too much. Anyways she finally perked up last night around 6 and was taking small sips of the sugar water on her own. About 7 I made her some layer mash and after a few times of putting a dab on her beak she readily ate it on her own out of a bowl. She is still weak but stands and eats and drinks on her own. However she is making an odd sound. I will try to post a video of it. Kinda a honk/screech with her neck stretched out. At first I thought is was a respiratory problem so I started her on Tulane injections. But there is no rattling when she breathes eyes are clear and doesn't seem to be any nasal discharge although she has been shaking her head a lot. Any info is always appreciated.
