I recently went through the same exact thing, but had to euthanize her myself. It was the hardest thing I've ever done---I still cry over it. The only vet that will treat laying hens in my area was closed that day and she was in such distress, I couldn't stand to watch her struggle and suffocate. I'm so sorry for you, me, and anyone who has to go through this. I just now realized that the hen I lost is the white one in my profile picture---looking like a winged angel...Update: She's gone.
Thank you all for trying to help. This is the first time in 2+ years of chicken keeping, that I was at a complete loss and had no clue what to do for her. She went down really fast, and her breathing got louder and louder by the minute. When she started looking all wide-eyed, kicking her legs, and could no longer hold her head up, the kids and I left the room and my husband "helped her to the other side".
Rest in Peace, Frieda, Queen of the Flock at Seven Feathers Farm.
