My hens comb is purple!

I don’t have a needle syringe, but we got at least four ounces into her.

Also, now she is breathing with her mouth open. Still won’t walk. She’s warmed up and hydrated. Not coughing or wheezing, just open mouth breathing

Open mouth breathing is a sign of stress, and now the patient needs to rest in a warm, secure place. In front of your wood stove or under a heat lamp or place her on a heating pad on the lowest setting.

You did well! In a couple hours, try to give her more fluids. Don't let her get chilled.

Awesome! Thank you, I couldn’t have done it without you! Her tail is perked up and she’s walked a couple steps. Comb color looks back to normal.

Sounds like she's doing better, can you post pics of her?

She's a miracle chicken for sure! But keep following the same protocol for the next 24 hours. One more infusion of warm fluids before you got to bed, and then you both need a good night's sleep.

Amazing help provided! What a scary ordeal. So glad she's doing better.
