Coco was the name of my BO. We called her by her nick name in Chinese (“The Yellow”). She was very special to me and the flock. I had imagined that she and I would have more years to go. All of this was such a shock and now grief.I'm very sorry to hear she died.
You did what you could for her. Sometimes they go downhill quickly.
I don't think you did anything wrong. Contents of the crop can easily spill out during the last throws of life making it look like that was the problem.
With her darkened comb and your description, likely she was suffering from organ failure and/or reproductive problems. Without examining the internals, these are only guesses.
They are so easy to love that's for sure. I had a special BO named Lucy that was very dear to me, it was hard to let her go.
Thank you for your support during this time. It means a lot to me!
