Is this old age?

Aww she looks sick, the ball shape may be because she is in pain and is balled up/tensed up trying to deal with it.

I believe that she quit laying about a year ago. No distention of the abdomen. She seems most content laying in the sun. Saturday afternoon is a bad time to go critical here. Appreciate everyone's input.

purple tint to the crown and wattles reminds me of my hen who had an infection. My hen was given Baytril by our family vet for 7 days and she survived.

I'd worm with 1/2 ml of Valbazen wormer and put her on antibiotics right away.

Speckled Hen was correct. She did not last long after my original posting...about 24 hrs.

Aww sorry for your loss, poor girl!
