Chicken Caught in The Cold....

[audy5000g]

Our chicken, who we could not find was caught under a fence by our barn. We think 3-4 nights. Feet and legs very cold. We had snow and very cold. Anything we can do for her?

Hypothermia and starvation are the two life threatening conditions you need to treat.

First, wrap the bird in a big towel that has been pre-warmed in the dryer or oven. Be sure it isn't hot enough to burn skin. Then give her a warm solution of one cup warm water with one teaspoon sugar and a pinch of baking soda and salt in it to drink. If she's unable to drink, syringe it into her like this.

Ok, thanks. Anything for feet?

Is this yellow image more important than saving your chicken? She will die unless you treat her hypothermia immediately.

What about her feet? Are they swollen and blistered? Probably has frost bite. How about posting some photos so we can assess what her state of health is?

I agree, pictures of the feet and legs would be helpful. How does the comb look?
