My hens comb is purple!

[Chickenfriend44]

In my backyard, I have two little ponds (man made) and about 15 minutes ago my chicken, Carmen, fell in and thank god I heard her cry for help. Anyway, I am sitting by the fireplace with her because she is shivering and her comb is somewhat purple! Any suggestions? Thanks!

Please hurry! It’s getting worse every minute.

Quickly warm her by running a big bath towel in the dryer until it's warm, then wrap her in it. Next, turn her onto her back and take a warm hair dryer to her wing pits and breast. There's maximum blood flow in these areas and it can quickly warm her entire body.

When she appears to be feeling a little better and her comb is redder, offer her warm Gatoraid or warm sugar water with just a pinch of salt.

Thank you so much!

Is she rattling and gurgling when she breathes? If so, it could be she took in some water when she was in the pond. If the water is in her lungs, it will make her recovery more precarious.

Keep re-warming the towel in the dryer and keep up the warm hair dryer until she perks up enough to drink. Getting the electrolytes and warm fluids into her is critical to head off shock.

She’s look a little better! Baby steps I guess.

New problem: she won’t walk. At all.
