How long has she been sick? Where are you? (what State or are you in the US?) Have you dewormed your flock? Have you checked for external parasites? (lice/ mites) Does she have any respiratory symptoms? Swollen eyes? What are her droppings like? Is she underweight? Can she walk OK and use her...

That's totally not the case. If you know what is wrong with the bird and how to treat it that's what antibiotics are for.

Have you tried calling the State agriculture department directly? How far away from them are you? Yes, it will take several days for a necropsy, but this is what you need to concentrate on. It will save you much worry in the end, if the necropsy results give you some direction! Are you...

If you haven't already, you can get a necropsy done. Some states will do it for free, or there is a fee, just depends, but it will give you a lot of information to use in treating the rest of the flock if you need to. If you don't have one done within twenty four hours of death, don't bother...

That's correct about putting her in a hospital box, and the sooner the better. She is very sick. chickens don't exhibit symptoms until they are. Don't deworm her, it might make her sicker, it can be debilitatiing. You can do it later if you need to. Coughing AND diarhea, I'm not sure...
