Dying chicken won’t make it through the night

[FluffySilkie]

I have two ducks that live with the chickens we have 9 chickens. The one duck I noticed is missing feathers started the other day didn’t see any bugs in her so figured it’s just cause time of year but should I be worried about it?

Coccidiosis, crop issues, pneumonia, egg laying issues, etc.

I sadly put her to rest... if she had some disease what should I look for in the other chickens?

Sorry for your loss, but it is the best for her. Most state vets can do a necropsy to look for a cause of death, if you keep the body cold but not frozen. You also can do a minor necropsy at home yourself, and take pictures of the major organs to post here for advice and opinions. Here is a link for your state vet:

I’m sorry it came to that, but glad you were able to show her that kindness. Sometimes the hardest thing for us to do is the best thing for our animals.

I want to thank everyone for being so kind and replying back so fast. I’m little worried for the rest of my flock now I’ve been doing some reading on coccidiosis wondering if they have it the rest of them are acting normal with the nice weather they are out in the yard all day long my one duck is missing feathers other than that they seem fine.

I know when it comes to chickens their poop is different a lot and is usually always gross lol but all the chickens have some white on their feathers by there butt I don’t remember them being that way before I have looked at poop and don’t see any bugs or blood. Colors are brown and white seen some green and some dark almost black looking
