Hen with pale comb and lethargic

Thank you. Around her vent area, did you notice any egg shell, or yellow that might be yolk?

Good question by @ChickNanny13 what were you treating the flock for?
Getting fecal float to rule out worms and coccidiosis overload is to be considered.

As Wyorp Rock suggested - is it possible for you to get a fecal float? She doesn't seem to be getting any worse so I think it would be a good idea?

Unfortunately she has passed pics are what her poop looked like....thanks for all of your suggestions and trying to help me figure this out!

I'm sorry about your chicken. The first thing I notice, is way too much corn on the ground. The second thing I'm noticing is far too many urates in the pooh, indicating a possible kidney issue. A pullet that age should have been on a chick starter/flock raiser crumble. Treats like corn, should be no more than 1/10 th. of their daily feed. In other words, about a tablespoon for larger birds.

@DiggsTheChick I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.
I agree with every word that @getaclue posted above.
You may want to evaluate what and how you feed to see if that makes a difference with the rest of your flock.

If you still have the body, consider sending it for necropsy or if you can perform your own informal examination that would be good too. If you take photos, we can try to help you with what you see. I would start by looking in the abdomen to see how much fat was in the abdomen, look at the reproductive system and organs (especially the liver and kidneys).
