We don't have a way to facilitate a necropsy. Knowing this, I buried her earlier. There is a very real chance that she did aspirate. I was feeding her at the time, and she was so weak that she couldn't even really "chew". Couldn't do that thing chickens do that kinda looks like chewing. It may...

So I wanted to post an update. She definitely had sour crop. However once her crop was emptied there was about a day where she seemingly felt a bit better- but this morning was just the opposite. She died in my hands a couple hours ago. She utterly refused to eat or drink this morning at all...
