Sick hen???

When I submerged her up to her neck in water quickly and put her in the shade she stopped panting. She's still wet.

I have a suspicion your hen is suffering from heat stroke. Do you have electrolytes to put into her water?

How about Gatoraid? First, do this. Soak two wash cloths in cold water and place them under her wing pits. Let it cool her for a couple minutes, then give her cool Gatoraid to drink.

Yes I have some. I'll go try that.

Look at this photo. Do you see the hole in the center of the throat of the chicken pictured? That is the airway. Giving fluids to a chicken must avoid that or the chicken will choke.

The esophagus is on the chicken's right side of the throat. That's were fluids must be given to avoid killing her.

Keep offering her the Gatoraid for the next couple hours, and keep her in a cool place for 24 hours.
