Not very sure what you mean by "stuck in the sun?" How is the chicken behaving? I would say that it probably has heat stroke, but this usually occurs when birds are indoors, in direct sunlight for long periods of time, or in a car without air conditioning. How is the bird behaving? Any panting, agitation, or holding the wings away from the body are signs to look for that indicate heat stress or stroke. If it seems to be doing better now, just keep doing what you’ve been doing and give it some space. Lowering its temperature should help. If the bird doesn’t improve, take it to the vet as soon as possible.
