Lethargic hen, any suggestions?

[peeps7]

I went out to the coop and my Br was just sitting there and didn't move when I fed everybody!!!! I picked her up and set her down but she won't stand AND I dipped her beak in water and she didn't even shake the water off or anything!!! HELP!!

is she laying her first egg?

 

[peeps7]

No or she would've made some noise, she didn't do anything when I picked her up.

Take her to a warm place and see if you can't heat her back up to life. Is she cold, could she have gotten into bad food? Got into poison? Lose any weight? Any wounds? Attacked maybe? Egg bound?

Or... sometimes they just die.... Hope she makes it though.

I'm pretty sure she is going to die, I put her in a little box with hay where she'll be comfy.

Just keep an eye on her. She might be going broody. Keep her warm and separated and make sure she has water and feed nearby. Do NOT add any medications or any vitamin additives to her water, unless you know what is going on. V&E won't hurt however, it is the only thing you need to give her right now additive wise.

Keep us posted.
