[ChickenRadio]

[ChickenRadio]

she wont eat but is still drinking

 

[ChickenRadio]

she is trying to stand but not making it

 

[Chicken Mommy]

Dont put her in ice cold water. Just dip her in cool water...use your judgement on how cool...just cool enough to refresh her. Dont leave her in there, take her out after you dip her in. I did this just last week.

To prevent this from happening again take advantage of the heat and evaporation. Spray down the coop(s) with a hose. You can also mist adult chickens if they are getting uncomfortable.

Dapples here.

I must ask, did your chicken make it?

Also, RIP Mystery. May she go to chicken heaven and eat tons of popcorn and cockroaches. We love you girl.

Don't pour cold water directly in, you'll crack the block. Oh, wait, that's a car overheating. Sorry. *blush*

Dapples again.

L! O! L! What does that spell? LOL! YAY!

(How I manage to stay chipper despite losing a chicken is beyond me.)

 

[Chicken Mommy]

Yes, she made it! She's a fighter! I brought her indoors and set up a chicken ICU basically. A fan, Lots of water, and a tub of refreshing water...just stay with her and keep trying!

Dapples AGAIN! (You can't get rid of me! Muhahahaha!)

Yes, as CR said, she's kinda trying to stand up, but she's off balance.
