Thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad I walked up to her and got her off the roost. If she would’ve fled, like she normally would’ve, I would’nt have been able to hold and comfort her before she died. The support here is so appreciated

I would try to take pictures on a white background of her organs. If there is any yellow fluid that comes out of the abdomen when it is opened, that is ascites. Look for any spots on the organs, any large masses, etc.

I will do this and share with my husband. Thank you so much!

I just lost one of my Cream Legbars several days ago the EXACT same way! Now your story makes me even more convinced it is a genetic issue relating to egg-laying. Mine had also just started laying recently and seemed to go in and out of being healthy for a month before BAM last week I went into the coop in the morning and she was just dead on the floor of the barn, looking asleep in a corner. It was very sad and I have not been able to bring myself to open her up and inspect her anatomy but I guess I should.

Oh, I’m so sorry She had only laid one egg I’m pretty sure. Her twin had laid a handful of eggs, but hers came just a couple days ago. My husband is a pro and is curious , as well. He just went out now to do it, I implored him to take good, clear pics of anything he thinks is off. I will post anything that may be relevant. Thank you so much for your kind words
