Hi,
I had an 8 month RIR hen die in January of fatty liver hemorrhagic syndrome. It was a very sudden death, and I noticed a few days before her death that the back of her comb turned almost transparent in about a 0.5in x 0.5in area. I'm now seeing my other surviving 9 month RIR hen having the exact same transparent comb in the exact same spot, along with occasional white flushes in her face. She pooped oddly this morning, but I didn't think much of it, as I'm about to worm my girls as soon as the Corid powder arrives this week. It was small, about the size of a half dollar, with a milky watery consistency and made up of mostly urates, no solids. She is laying well, but the poop did not look like egg white. It's not warm here in East Baton Rouge, and I'm not sure what could be going on, but I'm terrified that she might die of liver failure like her sister. If anyone could tell me what could be going on, I'd love to hear it. Vet is not really an option, because EBR has only one exotic vet that takes chickens, and my parents already paid <$300+ for my other chicken's vet bills, but she ended up dying.
TIA!
