New chicken can't stand up, but is eating and drinking.

Our take

Hi, chicken enthusiasts! I recently welcomed a new hen to my family, a delightful addition for my serama rooster. She seemed perfectly fine during our video call, and I was thrilled to meet her in person. However, after a hot day in a bamboo cage, I noticed she can't stand up, despite eating and drinking. I can't help but wonder if heat stroke played a role, even though the area was shaded. As a new chicken keeper, I realize I might have overlooked some important details about her care. I'm reaching out for insights and advice from fellow chicken lovers. Thank you in advance for your help—I'm eager to learn and ensure my feathered friend gets back on her feet!

Hi guys, I got a new hen for my serama rooster, one of our family members also keeps bantams and agreed to let us buy one of their hens.

she seemed fine when we first saw her on the video call, and the first time I touched her a hot noon, which is also the day I bought her,she could stand.

I then played with my cousins, because we were set to go home at night , yes I'm a child.

so they kept her first in a bamboo chciken cage, then she was there for a few hours. It was very hot out so I'm thinking maybe she had a heat stroke? I didn't think she would be affected because the area at that time was a bit shaded.I know, I was wrong for this.

Thank you for your insights, in advance I'm a new chciken keeper so any help would be appreciated, thank you!!!
