i'm so sad to inform y'all, she died!
i had taken both pics and video of her the night before (and posted this pic), then the next morning at 630am she was let out of the coop (seemingly fine) with everyone else. i had a doctor's appt and came back around 11am to find her in the dusting area, quite dead. i was so shocked, stunned, and SAD. the only thing i could think of... i had let them out to free range the night before (something i rarely get to do as i have non chicken friendly LGDs who have to be chained up for that) and so perhaps she ate something that was poisonous?
or, this genetic problem caught up with her, and what ever was wrong killed her. perhaps she was egg bound? no other chickens have died or display any illness, so it's just a big mystery. i'm pretty sad, but that's what i get for getting emotionally attached. thank you all for your interest and support- she was such a sweetie, and i'm glad i got to immortalize her on here.
