Sounds like it could be waterbelly.

On her last day, I noticed that she appeared worse. (She had been walking vertically like a penguin.) I picked her up, and it looked like a giant blood clot was hanging out of her rear end. We knew that that was it for her. We had to cull her.

I went outside to shut in the chickens a couple minutes ago. It's much later that I usually do it. Blamo wasn't in the coop, and after a bit of searching I found her underneath it out of the rain. (It's going to snow tonight). She is very bloated and round underneath. It's not very squishy either. I stuck her in the coop and she just sits on the floor and doesn't perch anyone. Idk what to do with her.

On this, it sounds like when Patti had water belly. You can drain it somehow, but I don't know how. That'll help preserve her a little longer, and relieve her.

Was she wet? If she was, then it would be a good idea to bring her in and dry her.

I'm very sorry that she's struggling. It sounds like she's getting worse.
IF the abdomen has fluid, sometimes that can be drained to give the hen relief for a short period of time.
Since this has been going on for a while, I would suspect that she's succumbing to whatever condition that is causing the bloat. If you feel she's in pain and suffering, then putting her out of her misery is a kindness.

Do you have someone with you that can help you access her condition? Neighbor, parent, sibling, friend?

No, she wasn't wet because she was underneath the coop.
I put her in with her 3 "daughters".
Yes....I'm afraid that's going to have to happen. But I don't trust anybody to do it.....

If it is ascites as some are suggesting, as in her abdomen is bloated and full of liquid, I have found a good treatment option. My 7 year old hen has had ascites for 2 months and would’ve died a month and three weeks ago if it wasn’t for this treatment. It has prolonged 4 hens lives by months.

There is no measurements in this but mix
Apple cider vinegar
Cinnamon powder
Oregano
Small amount of water
- mix this well, give it once a day at 8 ml a day

Then I give 8 ml of Lily of the Desert Aloe Detox.

I have been giving this hen it everyday and she has absolutely no liquid in her abdomen. 2 months ago, she was about to burst due to all the liquid and it all went away.
