URGENT HELP NOW PLEASE
Our take
Oh no, Kelsey! It sounds like your beloved hen is in quite a pickle, and we’re here to help you through this cluck-tastrophe. With temperatures soaring to 85°F in Florida, your feathered friend may be facing heat stress, which can be serious. Signs like heavy breathing, closed eyes, and a refusal to eat or drink indicate she might need urgent attention. Chickens are not fans of extreme heat, and it can quickly lead to dehydration or worse. Immediate steps include moving her to a cooler, shaded area and offering water—try using a dropper if she won’t drink on her own. Let’s rally together to get your baby back on her feet and clucking around in no time!
