HELP ASAP!

Sounds similar to my hen. This morning when I opened the doors to the coop and runs I found her in the corner with her beak actually touching the wall. I picked her up and lots of clear fluid came out of her mouth and nose. I felt her crop and there was some seeds in it, very little but I could feel something. She started to flap her wings pretty aggressively so I put her back on the floor. She went limp and died right then. I have no clue. I was with the chickens yesterday for hours and was watching her and her two breed mates and my barred rocks as well. I saw nothing to concern me. They were all acting perfectly normal. ?????? I'm sad for both of us.

I'm so sorry about your girl! I looked at the thread that said maybe something was stuck, and maybe something was? But I did look in her beak, and nothing was stuck. Just so much clear, chunky fluid. I know she was eggbound for sure, but eggbound wouldn't cause a chicken to have mucus in their throat, so I am just stumped.

I'm sorry for the loss of your hen. It's never easy. If only they could tell us what was wrong.

I'm sorry about your hen too. I did a necropsy and found no blockage of throat, crop or anything. I did give my chickens grapes the day before, but I do cut them in half and didn't have enough for the whole flock. I don't think this hen that died even got any. Her crop was almost empty, just had a few grains in it and a bunch of brown liquid. So depressing to loose a friend. Let have wine together.. .. .. ..
