My chicken is sick

[Mandy1229100]

Does the dropping seem to have yellow urates (normally the white part of droppings?) Is her lower belly between her legs enlarged at all? Is there any food that she normally really likes? Mine will eat chopped scrambled egg even when sick.

Yes it’s yellowish in color and smells very bad. Her belly is empty and so is her crop. Usually she loves meal worms and she ate them last night but won’t eat anything today. I tried eggs corn and worms

Yellow urates can be a sign of liver problems. If her lower belly is enlarged, she might have ascites or water belly from liver disease or heart problems. There can be a lot of liver problems with reproductive disorders.

so very sorry for your loss, You did everything you could for her and gave her a good life. I lost one unexpectedly earlier this year first sign of something wrong ther wasn't anything I could do she was gone in an hour, which there was a way to get them to let us know when something is wrong as they are so good at hiding it, it's a natural instinct for them.

So sorry that you lost her. It is difficult, but sometimes if you do your own necropsy, you may find signs of a cause of death. You can take pictures of the abdominal organs and post them here for help. You may also refrigerate the body, and send it to your state vet on Monday to get a professional necropsy. Here is a splist of state vets:
