Chicken acting sick and getting worse.. UPDATE! Found dead

[ChickensAreSweet]

I have never dealt with an eggbound hen, but I must ask if you think it might be a possibility.

Panting can mean they are in pain.

If it were my chicken I'd try putting her in a small tub/bucket of warm water and hold her/let her soak her bottom for 15-20 minutes to see if that helped.

I have read that it is very dangerous to try to feel in the vent for an egg, as it can break.

Here is a link so you can read to see if you think that could be it:

I hope you know that she probably really appreciated the help.

Thank you.

In my experience with chickens, it seems like if they get sick, they die. They are really delicate animals.

Thank you everybody.
