You said the vent was really red. Was it swollen at all? It’s possible that your chicken was actually suffering from a prolapsed vent. Its basically where the internal part of the vent protrudes out of the external vent. its a common egg production complication.
She didn’t seem to be prolapsed. She actually hadn’t laid us an egg in years which could have also been a problem but we had asked about that before and were told that some hens stop laying eggs sooner than others. I think she had more than one thing wrong for sure.
Aw I am so sorry to hear that. And yes we were frantically trying to revive her but there was nothing we could have done. It’s just so sad still thinking about it. I just keep thinking like only if we hadn’t decided it was time for a clean that day.
Thank you very much! I think she definitely had multiple problems. She would get so angry being held and would sit with her mouth open and breath very heavily. We think that plus being slightly tipped forward for a quite large hen could have caused her to choke. She wasn’t as loving as our other two that love to be held but she was still loved!

Thank you so much!Very sorry for your loss. Beautiful chicken. Rest in peace Ms. Pacaw. You were only trying to help
That’s interesting. I had the same thing happen to a hen that I had. She stopped laying eggs for a year or so then she suddenly died. Makes me wonder if she had some sort of growth in her ovaries or something. Guess I’ll never know.She didn’t seem to be prolapsed.

She was a beautiful hen and just know that she is no longer suffering.
