I just have a question for Arizona chicken owners. I have had baby chickens get overheated and was able to bring them back with electrolytes but now I have an older chicken that seems to be having an issue and I'm not sure if it's heat related? I have been trying everything as far as dipping her and cool water and basically force feeding her electrolytes and medicated feed. But she still seems to be lethargic and will not open her eyes after 2 days?

So I'm not sure if it's heat stroke I'm just assuming but none of my other chickens are sick and taking precautions to keep them cool .it's supposed to be 110 today and have been very diligent about keeping them cool. How do chickens act with heat stroke? She is acting like she is sleeping and won't open her eyes unless I pick her up to force feed her!!
