Cloudy eye in morning complete white. Afternoon other eye. Heavy repeated panting huh ...huh...huh...huh....every other second for hours... hours. Liquid Diarrhea all around her. Hiding in corner. Mouth glued shut. Placed beak in warm water and pried open mouth. Almost like a form of paste or glue. Horrible distress. Went on all day and rapidly getting worse.

Feared disease that would affect other chickens. I put her down. I hope I did the right thing.

Three years old with run of the back yard. My original six are all doing well. I can't stress how rapidly this happened.

This is my first experience. I sanitized everything she was near and immediately washed clothes.

A very sad day.

Wow. That is a very sad day. So sorry you and your girl went through it. :hugs
Did you save her body? It would be very good to get a necropsy at your state lab to find out just what took her down so rapidly.
