Help! My 3-year-old cream legbar Juliet started acting lethargic 24 hours ago and I went to bring her into the garage for isolation in a large dog crate this morning. She started throwing up a foul-smelling clear slightly viscous liquid on me, then had a seizure and died in the crate. 😪 The throwup included the worm egg (???) or whatever it is that is pictured here. She also had a gush of similar discharge from her vent when she died.

I need help advice on how to treat the rest of my flock in case this problem could spread. So far no one else is acting lethargic. I have 3 6-year-olds and 4 other 3-year-olds in the flock, all different breeds (though I doubt that is much of a consideration).

Thanks so much in advance.

Do you have any pictures?
 
Thanks. Have been sitting here researching and now realize chickens that can’t vomit per se.

Iā€˜m hoping this was an individual problem since that means the rest of the flock is not at risk for the same problem. It’s been hot here (for Vermont) and I had attributed Juliet’s lethargy to that, but of course now wish I had brought her in yesterday.
