One of my Barred Rock hens is laying down with labored breathing, head drooping. Shes under the coop and im trying to get her out. Looks listless.

Feel around her bottom to see if she's egg bound, does she have water? How hot is it there? Is she laying on her side? Pics?

Clear liquid coming out of her beak. Runny poop from her vent.

Sounds a little like dehydration, separate her from the others and see if she drinks some water. How hot is it there? Does she have safe access to water? Other chickens might scare her away from the water source

Plenty of clean water. The other 8 are fine. She just vomited and twitched around and then died.

First loss out of our original 9. Sad

She was not egg bound. Comb was extremely pale.

gosh I'm sorry! I just had to deal with that from one of mine. Was she having runny poop before?
