Yes. Cold clammy skin is a symptom of heat stroke.

Thank you!!! I think that's it but we're gonna get corid and antibiotics just in case

Today

Any update this afternoon?

There hasn't been any real changes. We're noticing she will only eat mealworms and egg.
This is her and her poop today started corid yesterday just in case.

Has she been given electrolytes yet? Any at all?

This seems heat related, and yes, a chicken can get heat stroke even with shade and water. It's life threatening so, it would be wise to give her this to cover this possibility.

The only other two possibilities are coccidiosis and bacterial infection. Corid in the water should be tried. A drench dose for the next three days should also be given.

It would be smart to try to locate an oral antibiotic in case these other measures don't work.

Started corid yesterday. She only will eat worms and eggs. Isn't really drinking. Won't eat her feed or wet feed. Still lethargic. Feet are still cool. She is gobbling down egg though?

They seem normal to me, do you have any pics with her legs in it before this all happened?

Still holding an eye shut, still lethargic. Started corid yesterday. Won't eat her feed but will chow on some eggs and worms. Won't really drink unless we dip her beak then she fights it anyways.

Just keep dipping her beak!! I had to do that with mine. You cannot let her get real dehydrated.
