The hen in pics i sent to you is 3 years old. She gave up the fight at 1:00 pm . Still have no idea what happened or could have caused this. She was a golden comet
 
Ok thank you. So just feed layers crumbles
She gave up the fight at 1:pm today. Atill have no idea what happened or caused it. She had absolutely no signs of being pecked. The missing feathers were caused from me cutting them. She quit drinking & eating. Wouldn't touch either this morning
 
I'm so sorry. The vent appears damaged to me. It's possible that she prolapsed, other birds pecked at it. It happens with prolapse sometimes if it's not noticed and other birds see it. If that was what happened then probably at some point infection set in, might have been internal if anything was damaged enough to create an opening to the abdominal cavity. Even a very small prolapse can end up causing major damage if other birds get to it. It looks like it was dried out and maybe trying to scab over. Hard to know. It would definitely explain the lethargy and not wanting to eat or drink, she was likely feeling pretty awful. Again, I'm so sorry.
