I didn't look, and have already buried her. Would the bruising be consistent with cocci?

We thought about a necropsy, but neither of us are up for it. I never noticed any blood in the stool, for whatever that's worth. When I noticed the green stool I figured it was had something to do with the Corid. The head-scratcher for me is that she presented no other symptoms for any of the...

Well, a final update. I spoke a little too soon after posting earlier...she declined rapidly as the day progressed. I offered a yogurt/egg/feed mash which she wouldn't touch, manually gave water via a syringe to her beak (she took a very little), but it was pretty clear over the last couple of...
