Lethargic RIR, won't eat, stands hunched, no visible eggbound

The poor dear, how is she doing?

Sadly, our poor girl deteriorated terribly until we had no choice but to stop her suffering. Someone on another board said it sounded like egg yolk peritonitis, and when I looked into it, she had all the signs. Unfortunately it's just not recoverable unless you catch it really early. For us, it was only 3 days from when I noticed her not leaving the inside coop. Thanks all for your ideas and support, I really appreciated it.

I lost one of my 3 1/2 year old buff Orpingtons today so I know how you feel.

Oh no -- I'm so sorry! So hard. Sending empathy your way.

I'm sorry you lost your girl. It seems reproductive issues are really common, especially in production hens. It's awful to watch them go through that.

It is so easy to get attached
