I'm sorry for your loss.
This question is intended to narrow down the possibilities that might help the rest of your hens in the future: When you say yellowish/white discharge that smelled like cheese, was that from her mouth or from her vent?
The discharge was from her vent. My other chicken had the same, when I gave her a bath... I suspect it was from small pieces of leaves of an egg plant ("Chickens can eat them but not green skins which contain solanine as this is toxic to hens. Eggplant: No. They cannot eat the plant, leaves or flowers as they contain solanine which is toxic to hens.") I have in my garden.
I had taken some leaves off and just threw them in the chicken coop with out thinking... this might caused all this... I feel horrible... I couldn't find any signs of parasites...
I hate myself... I also have a gourd that is a decorative colorful one and threw a small one that didn't grew in the coop... I thought they could eat it...but it killed one of my hens... To know that I caused all that makes me feel very sad... I will never forget how in pain Coco my Easter Egger was... she died in my arms... I didn't mean to do that...
