Help my baby chick hurt beak

Sorry for your loss. If you still have her body, wrap it in 2 clean garbage bags, then refrigerate it or pace it inna cooler on ice, but don’t freeze it. Then you cannget a necropsy through your state vet lab. They can give you a diagnosis with a necropsy. Here is a list of state vets to contact:

I'm so sorry for your loss. A necropsy would be a good idea if answers would give you closure.

It sounds like it could be reproductive related. I had a similar situation, we had a legbar chick who was thriving and healthy right up until laying age. The week we got our first egg (from one of her hatch mates, not from her) she suddenly became lethargic and developed a swollen belly. After about a week, and some calcium supplements, she wasn't getting better and I was all set to cull her. But the morning I was going to do it she was miraculously all better. About 2 months later her symptoms returned and she went downhill fast. After she passed i did an at home necropsy that confirmed it was a reproductive issue (right ovaduct (usually birds only have one, the left one) cyst) that we couldn't have prevented. I've culled pet chickens before and I still bawled over her passing (we technically culled her, but she was already in the process of dying and wouldn't have lasted another 5 minutes even had we done nothing).
