Just lost one of my leghorns. Second hen lost in about a month. I brought her in to clean her bottom that had poop stuck on it. i let her soak in the tub for a bit, but before i did when i picked her up some liquid came out of her mouth just figured she drank a lot and was water logged. didn't notice any smell. She got her bath, blew her dry and put her to bed in a crate in the bedroom. a couple hours later i heard what sounded like some flapping around. Thinking she was trying to get out of the crate i went to check on her and she was dead. there was some liquid in her beak wondering if maybe she choked/drowned. Huh! i feel like i am doing something wrong with raising my girls even tho i have been told by others that they will just die or can flap around and his their heads and break their necks. just hoping nothing else is going on and eventually ends up taking my whole flock.
