I hope this helps others.
My little girl died after many days of obvious illness. She hardly ate and when I held her she was light as a feather with no breast meat on her at all. I needed answers and I needed to start learning. I suspected fatty liver but was surprised to find a very healthy liver but a huge, rock-hard gizzard. Im pretty sure it was impacted. This is a bantam hen so I would not have expected such a huge gizzard. There was also what appeared to be a blockage in the tube leading to the gizzard. No grass, string or other suspect matter was found inside.
FIrst one of her still alive
Rest now little Silver bells
