Won’t Wake Up, Cold, but Still Breathing

[Concerned Mama]

I want to shut in my girls for the night and found my Brahma hen lying in the snow. She’s still breathing but won’t wake up and is cold. We brought her inside and are trying to warm her up. She’ll occasionally ‘flinch’ and sometimes mover her head a little but not much more. Is there anything I can do to help her?

I’ve wrapped her in an old blanket and brought her in my house. The garage is warmer than outside but cooler than my house. Should I keep her out there? This is her 3rd winter but it’s the first time I’ve seen this happen to any of my chickens.

I would say house is fine is she still cold to touch? I would definitely blow dry

Bring her inside and use a blowdryer on warm (not hot) on low and start drying her off. Under her wings and legs will help best, but don't leave it in one spot too long or you'll burn her

I think it’s working…she’s starting to open her eyes for a few seconds when I move her.

Open eyes is good. She is going to start shivering when she warms up, probably really strongly. That's a good sign, that she's getting warmth and strength back
