Chicken is unconscious. What to do?
Hello!
My chicken is like fainted or something.
In case it matters, it is a mix of the breeds zerw silken and bantam cochin chicken.
I don't know what to do… we've never had anything like this before.
It's also relatively warm outside, and yesterday it was a bit cooler. Could it be the weather?
We brought the chicken into the house because it was a bit cooler there than outside.
Is there any way I can wake the chicken from its unconsciousness?
As of June 27th:
My chicken is still alive but somehow not fully conscious…
It drinks a little but doesn't eat anything. If you touch it or enter the room where it's lying, it turns its head slightly. But its eyes are still tightly closed.
Does anyone have any other tips?
What should I do best?

If it was the heat and you follow your description, the chicken will now be dead or just before the dead. 😕 At the beginning, the animals try to cool (sliding, keeping wings from the body, etc.), then no help comes to tilt around. But then the animal is already completely overheated, as you write that it has stumbled for a short time, that will probably be the cramps that originate from it that the brain and blood flow is already faulty or “stands”. Heat beats are real emergencies, the circulation does not pack anything, the blood can cook properly and “stock” as in a boiled egg.
I would first try to save the other chickens that threaten the same. 😕
So it’s not dead. it breathes in the same way.
ok the other chicken is all good
Veterinary would remember me maybe you can get it back with electrolytes and other medicines 🤔 you would have to stabilize the cycle, then you also have a chance to get back to yourself
You can’t do much! We have already lost 2 due to the heat (in an uncertain)
Let it rest and possibly provide water
I put a bowl of water next to the huh. Can’t I do anything? or at which temperature should it be in the room where the chicken is?
Cool! But not too cool! How warm is it outside?
I know… A haw had this already been healthy again
Also chickens can get this 🤨
I will.
Pass with the wind: sommerschnupfen
So shadowing places we have enough of it. we have 30° and it is also a bit windy. the air is a little cooler but not much…
a sand bath would be possible.
Busty trees? How’s the air?
We also have bowls around where the chickens if they want to go in… the bowls we’ve got to stand under the other side because of the goose and get out.
can I do anything else?
a bit more merciful than before
Sounds good to you! The answer from Ponyfliege is really well thought out! Only the pond I rethink
so it is now sitting by itself… but the eyes are still closed and it has drunk…
How are you going to put a lousy chicken? That’s why I said to the side so that the lungs and the most important organs are exposed. “Don’t put it down” you can’t do it because it’s in itself
you can’t lay down a huh.
it suffocates because the breast muscle forces the lungs together.
Okay, I just put it down.
it’s like you with the old and the chicken.
Then I would say between 23-26 degrees! Look that it can still breathe! Doesn’t mean to lie on the side
I have to say that I am 14 years old and only in my spare time are busy with our chickens!
In the house it is room temperature or somewhat cooler.
outside it is 30°
Put it in a cool place. There it should recover within the next few minutes. If you don’t, I guess you’re in.
it lies on a cool place…
When I lifted it up again it also stumbled with the feet but the eyes did not open it
raise the wings and cool underneath with damp cloths. the wing must remain raised so that the evaporation moisture can cool the animal. a low speed ventilator can help.
cool the neck with damp cloths! over the half of the brain of the chicken is located in the neck spine. the head cool doesn’t help.
moisten the breast-fed.
keep the hell up in any case. it may not lie.
when it comes again, dissolve water in drops.
chickens can cool in water. lift a flat scrub (15cm) of about 40x80cm, with a cut-out mud bag, put a little bit of a bit of a bit to complain and then fill up 10cm high with water. the “teich” is sufficient for up to 10 chickens.
provide enough shades. green food and cucumber instead of grain feed.
our chickens liked to cool their feet at heat, partly also moistened the feather. her favorite place was under the big johannisbeer bushes in the shadow.
Chickens usually get panic when they come into contact with water! The feather sucks full and you have an eager uboot
therefore the water depth only 10cm maximum.
we never had hybrid chickens, but we always ran old.
I did it now. It’s a bit more merciful and drunk. the eyes still haven’t opened it.
wait and offer more to drink. if you have a yogurt or cucumber, you can try to eat it.
and continue to cool until it gets back down.
So far, the hawn still didn’t open the eyes but drank something…
What do you want me to do? wait till tomorrow and see?
and then “resolve” or wake it up again?
I don’t know anymore…
We have hybrids and seramas
Did it open the eyes again?
He’s okay
Very nice! I thought it wasn’t possible. I’m sure it was close. Good luck!
