Her comb is really getting dark now, so she probably is not getting much oxygen. I’m glad that you are there with her as she passes. Poor thing.

The specks could be lice. I would try to look at the others in the morning. Count the legs. Mites have 8 legs and are more oval, while lice are straw colored and have 6 legs and are more eleongated. Permethrin garden dust or spray will treat either of those. Here is a good article to help identify the specks:

At 7:09pm Goldie died peacefully, she died of heart failure and thankfully she wasn’t suffering when she was passing. Thank you all so much for the support I really appreciated all the help you have given me.

I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure that you will miss her.

I had an egg bound hen (large Blue Orpington). I got a dishpan, and used warm water with about 1/2 cup epsom salts in it. Put her in the dishpan - in the bathtub, closed the curtain to make it dark. Put a towel over her and soaked her for about an hour, two times per day. I've got to check my records to see what else I gave her or did to her, but in a couple days she layed a nasty, yuky egg and lived for about 5 more years..
