Nearly Drowned Hen

[MamuchkaJ]

I came home to find my EE in the horse trough, still alive. She’s wheezing and breathing convulsively. Eyes closed and not really moving. Is there anything I can do?

Still labored breathing. I have her under a heat lamp to try to warm her up.

Thank you. She’s moving her head around a little and she opened her eyes. I’m hopeful.

I think you are doing what you can for her.
Getting her warm is good.
Sounds like she's coming around a little. You may want to offer her a little sugar water or electrolytes. Don't force fluids right now, just hold a cup up to her beak to see if she's interested.

I would worry about her getting possible pneumonia from getting water into her air sacs. Do you have any antibiotics on hand? If so, what do you have?
