Possible ideas why my pullet/hen is ill

[Liz Longhi]

Try soaking a small amount of those pellets in water and mix them with a scrambled egg.

She is refusing food.

So, I offered her favorite ( grapes) with her calcium supplement.
Nothing I had to put the calcium in her mouth.

I see it very bad if she doesn’t gobble down her favorite treat.
She is the lowest on the pecking order and she would run in, wings blazing, rebel in her eyes absolutely defying all laws of flock for grapes.

Is she still drinking and pooping?

She pooped a bit and drank a bit but for the most part sleeping

She just died

Oh No!!! I'm so sorry

Are you going to send the body to your state lab to find out what happened?

Probably not, since it doesn’t seem like an epidemic

If another gets sick I will most definitely. At this point no egg binding that I could feel, crop not impacted, no parasites, other hens fine.

Leads me to believe she had a reproductive issue and was finally coming to age.

She died in my arms. I had wrapped her in a towel to keep her warm and was rubbing her belly. Poor girl

I really did try. Poor girl

I never lost a hen beside a predator attack ( a dog -once) and well the farmer down the way.

My old girls quit laying (age) I didn’t have the heart to butcher them so I gave them to the farmer who had no qualms about it.
