Thanks everyone who responded. She was just too far gone. I am taking her to get an autopsy now.
Can anyone recommend a wormer for the chickens? I have never done that and don't even know where to start in finding a right product. Thanks

She just passed away. I feel sick. I have never lost a chicken before. She was so friendly and always ran up to be pet and loved on

Sorry for your loss.

I think necropsies on chickens are free in TN.

Thanks. I actually just took her down there the other day. I got a call this morning and they told me that she had a large tumor on her ovary that took up most of her abdomen. She also had tumors on her kidneys and heart. She was only 9 months old, so they were a bit baffled by this. They were going to look into what caused the tumors and let me know in the final report if she had Marek's or what. The tumors are definitely what killed her though. Does anyone know anything about this stuff? What may have happened? I am hoping and praying it's not Marek's.

Glad you were able to take her there.
