EE gasping 24 hrs- help, please!

Oh, I am sorry to hear that you lost her so quickly. Has there been mold around the coop or run? It would be impossible to know exactly what killed her, but mold can lead to a respiratory disease called aspergillosis. I second that your state vet in one of four locations, could perform a necropsy on her body if you get her there or ship her body overnight via prepaid Fedex or UPS. Keep the body cold, but do not freeze if you plan a necropsy. Here is a list of state vets:

Thank you very much! I appreciate it. We've had such a hot, dry time here so I don't suspect mold, but I know now to still look around for it. Thank you for weighing in. We are living and learning o'er here...

Well... the chickens aren't always living. But you know what I mean.
