Monday night, I went to close the chicken coops and saw a hen laying in front of it. I scooted her towards the door and she stood up, took a step or two and sat back down. I separated her and gave her food, water and oyster shell and she didn't eat or drink any of it. She did have very runny and white diarrhea and when I came near her, she did a growling noise and kind of puffed up like a broody.

This morning (Wednesday) I found her dead. It's just weird because it happened so sudden and fast. If anyone has had a similar experience, please post :) thanks!
 
That is weird. Maybe it's a coincidence that she got broody at the same time she got sick? I don't know.
 
Cocci. Yes, adults get it and they don't always have bloody poop. It's the most underdiagnosed and treated ailment in poulty IMO

I think it was cocci...She had the EXACT symptoms that I read on it right before she died. Does it usually happen quick? She was only sick for about 2 days before she died.
Thanks for your help everyone:)
