Dead rooster

I would give her the electrolyte water with a dropper or syringe into the side of her beak, a little at a time. You can upload a video to YouTube or a similar site with a link posted here. What state are you in?

We are in northern Utah

Could it be coccidiosis?

Sorry for your loss. Watch the flock behavior to see if the rooster or other hens are keeping anyone from eating or drinking. Do they have enough room and at least 2 water/food stations to give everyone a chance to eat and drink? I would bring the little hen aside and feed her some wet chicken feed and fluids, along with some egg. Look her over for any lice or mites. What do you feed them? Are you adding anything to their water, and is it staying thawed? You could send or take your rooster off to the state vet on Monday am for a necropsy to get a diagnosis, but call them early Monday, and keep his body chilled, not frozen.

Does this look like worm eggs

Aww I'm sorry for your loss! As @CCsGarden mentioned, my flock sadly did get poisoned last summer. It sounds similar to some of the behaviors you noticed. When I went out for my morning routine my chicken's water dish was fuller than I had left it and the water was cloudy. It had no odor. After noticing my rooster prohibiting all access to water I promptly emptied/cleaned all food and water dishes then dosed the entire flock why charcoal. Clearly, whatever was in the dish he'd already consumed a bit and it must've been an upper drug of sorts ( I already suspect my neighbors to not be up to the best things). My rooster exhibited many symptoms such as, dilated pupils, increased heart rate, overheating, acting "out of it" etc. I stayed with him all day constantly dunking him in an ice water bath because he was just sitting there about to heat stroke. After 24 hours he came off the "high" but never seemed quite normal. 4 months later I decided to put him down due to the fact that he lost all of his feathers and went from 14lbs to 7lbs. It was a learning experience for sure but it reminded me of why I keep a rooster- to protect the hens. I narrowed it down to that day being too taxxing on his body and slowly causing organ failure. IF that's what happened with your chickens I'd suspect he drank too much or it was too concentrated and the effects happened quicker. I'm not trying to draw conclusions (I hope your neighbors would never do that) but I'm happy to lend any knowledge I have from the experience! I sincerely wish your hen gets better, best wishes

Could it be coccidiosis?

I don’t see worms in the droppings, but it has yellow urates, which can be from liver and reproductive disorders. Coccidiosis can be a problem with young birds 3-12 weeks old, or with chickens with an immunity problem. Usually grown chickens have built up a tolerance for coccidia in their familiar soil. But it won’t hurt her to try Corid if you wish. She looks very weak in the video. Could she have gotten moldy feed or something poisonous in the yard, or a toxin on the grass?

It’s possibly she got into something moldy. I did find a moldy pumpkin. I gave some poultry cell just now. I’m not sure what else to do for her.

I would try to get her eating and drinking, and keep an eye on her droppings. Many hens with reproductive disorders can get the yellow urates. Is her tail up or down, and has she laid any eggs recently?
