New to chickens and live in Az

[nuthatched]

After two days, I wouldn't think it was the heat. How old is it? I'd put her down since she doesn't seem to get better?

So I'm not sure if it's heat stroke I'm just assuming but none of my other chickens are sick and taking precautions to keep them cool .it's supposed to be 110 today and have been very diligent about keeping them cool. How do chickens act with heat stroke? She is acting like she is sleeping and won't open her eyes unless I pick her up to force feed her!!

The symptom's would be severe lethargy, heavy panting, extreme body heat, staggering, disorientation, and/or seizures.

Welcome to BYC!
Can you post a picture of your hen?
If I have one overheat (usually after egg laying) I take her inside and put cool wet rags over her feet and under the wings. I don't put her back out until dark. And I watch them closely on hot days, from then on.
Electrolytes every day, can be too much of a good thing. Always make sure you have fresh, clear water available. Cool not cold.
And as @sourland says once you (or a chicken) have a heat event you will always be more susceptible to heat than others.
The symptoms of heat events are described by @BlueBaby I'd like to add pale comb and face, as well as pale skin inside the mouth.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined. Wish it was under better circumstances.
I hope she recovers but things don't sound good. Do you have her in the house out of the heat?

I do I have her in my walk in shower and have cooked her off but she is still seems like she is sleeping and doesn't open her eyes! A few weeks back I thought I was going to lose one of my baby chicks that is just a few months old but the electrolytes perked them up within a few days! It doesn't seem to be working with my older one that is not quite a year!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a wonderful place to hang out and explore.

Maybe she has something else besides the heat going on with her.

That is what I'm wondering and have her isolated!!

Can you take a picture of her and post it as a new thread over in our ER section? Maybe someone will be able to help you to identify what's really wrong with her?

Baby chicks usually do fine in the heat, as long as they have water, feed, and shade.
Are you noticing anything else from her ot the rest of the flock?
Discharge from eyes or nostrils? Sneezing or coughing? Are the flocks combs healthy looking? Check their pupils for strange shapes or cloudiness. Note any gait problems or head shaking?
I'm going to suggest that you make a post in the Emergency forum. We have some members who are excellent at diagnostics and treatment.

No head shaking like I did with the chicks I saved. Just slow side motions. No eye or nasal discharge or cough or sneeze! I'm afraid she has heat stroke because it has been pretty hot! My others seem ok for now and I have a eye on them all day long. Have shades, pools(2) and misters going all day long! Giving her electrolytes, medicated chicken feed that I give the baby chicks soaked in the electrolytes and garlic water just in case its an infection! She is very lethargic and doesn't open her eyes? Not sure what to do and this is days 3. Her poop seems to fluctuate from solid to watery with green! I have been doing my homework but kinda at a loss and don't want to lose her;
