My hen looks as if its dying

[sunflour]

thanks everyone but if she passes away would it be fine if i

buried her

Yes, I would. I'm am sure you have already tried to get her to drink and if she's refusing her favorite treats, it's doubtful she'll eat. But you could try a scrambled egg, soft cooked.

Wish they would just all stay healthy.

Get her under a heat lamp. Dying birds are usually very cold. So at least make her comfortable in her last hours. Let her sleep inside the house tonight in a laundry basket or something to keep her comfortable. I am so sorry.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Dorry about your hen

 

[Outpost JWB]

The other posters have given you great advice. I would go ahead and check for mites, worms etc, but it simply sounds like egg bound or age. Sorry. I bury all of mine that die. It is very sad. So sorry.

Hope somehow she bounces back.

It does sound to me like egg peritonitis. I have not had to deal with that myself, but check out this website and maybe it will have answers for you. There is also an emergency section on BYC that can give you further answers. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/.../chicken-egg-binding-causes-symptoms.html Good Luck. Please keep us posted.

Can you give her a warm epsom salt bath and keep her in the house? She most likely has impacted oviduct aka internal laying. I know there's not much hope, but good luck!
