A change in roosters crow = go to the vet

Don't I know it. The first chicken to die at my house had liver failure. I noticed some slight behavior changes but not enough to alarm me. She stopped launching herself out of the coop and took the long way out of going down two ladders instead and chose to rest more. SHE KNEW that she was dying and set herself down to sleep in the yard and closed her eyes. My mom spotted her and picked her up without a fight and then the poor girl blinked for the last time and died right there. I'm litteraly crying thinking about it.

Thank you for sharing this story about your chicken. Even though it is a sad story about her passing away, there is something beautiful about it. She chose to be outside in your back yard, a place she loved, where she lay down, closed her eyes and peacefully passed away. I know it's traumatic when you witness something like that, but I hope my perspective helps.
