Hen laying on side sprawled out

[docdubz]

I let the last of my bielefelder hens be a yard chicken. I noticed two days ago that she had her mouth open but I figured it was because it was over 80 and she still had her winter fluff.

She made herself a nest near my workshop and I just found her there laying on her side sprawled out. She's alive but is trying not to open her eyes. Wings are cocked back and her neck is kind of arched to the rear with her neck feathers puffed up.

I'm gonna try to move her and take pics right now.

So much for that. She died as soon as I hit post. Mouth and nose look clear but there is a small puddle of cloudy water near where her beak was dunno if that is a symptom or if she regurgitated it as soon as she died. Real wierd part is she literally just died, she was alive and making noises 5 minutes ago but rigor mortis already set in, her body feels like it's need dead for 2 days.

I’m so sorry.

Had a hard time getting a mouth picture. The rigor mortis set in super strong right away. When I found her she was seriously sprawled out as if an animal had killed her. I'm wondering if this was a disease or my latest case of a bielefelder suffering a random cardiac arrest
