Chick eye shut heavy open beak breathing

Belle was dead this morning when I checked on her. I kind of knew she wouldn’t make it through the night. It’s kind of a relief that she isn’t suffering. RIP Belle hope you’re enjoying lots of bugs in chicken heaven! The good news is my other seven chicks are thriving with no sign of illness from Belle. Thank you for all of your advice.

I'm very sorry to hear about Belle

So sorry for your loss. She sounded very sick. You could get a necropsy by your state vet if you refrigerate her body, and take it or ship it overnight to the state poultry lab. That would tell you if she had a respiratory disease and what kind. There may be a closer lab if you put your location (state) in your profile. Here is a link for all state vets:

Thank you for the information. All my other chicks seem fine and aren’t exhibiting any symptoms so I don’t think she got any others sick thank goodness!
