Hen sluggish, had seizure and died!

[Krazygirl3797]

My 8 month old hen was extremely sluggish today, she sat in one place for several hours then started leaking an opaque substance from her rear and all of a sudden she had a seizure and died. I don't have the first clue as to what's going on. I hope whatever it is isn't contagious, I have a coop full of chickens and I do not want to loose any more.

If anyone has an idea as to what's goin' on please HELP!

sorry to hear that. I wonder if she had an egg break inside her - causing her demise.
