My hen has just passed away

Had she been hanging out in the nest box? Are you giving your hens layer feed and putting out crushed oyster shell for extra calcium? Egg binding can occur in hens sometimes, and if suspected sometimes giving a human calcium table with D3 or Tums can help them to push out the egg. Sometimes though, the egg may be too large, or shell-less and those can be difficult to pass. Very sorry that you lost her.
 
They are all born April of 2021 so about a year and a half. My husband just checked over Henrietta and it turns out she was egg bound. I feel so awful. Nothing new at all as far as the coup. Very routine. How did I not notice before today? It just so upsetting
