Need help! My chicken seems too be dying

Sorry for your loss. You could get a necropsy through one of the locations of the state vet in TX tomorrow if you keep the body cold with ice in a cooler (wrap in 2 garbage bags.) Or, you could do a home necropsy to look at her organs— intestines, liver, gizzard, oviduct, etc., and look for any yellow fluids in the abdomen, a sign of water belly. It can help give you an idea of what was wrong. Take pictures of the organs and post here if you want some opinions. Here is a list of state vets with the TX labs:

This is the third necropsy I do. So it turns out she had a very weak heart ☹️
It was all squishy with white and her meat was very dark pinkish/purpleish.
