Aww, I'm sorry about your hen.
See the link below for information about how to send for necropsy, there are instructions (links) for packing or dropping off along with the forms you will need. https://waddl.vetmed.wsu.edu/avian

Your location says WA state.
Are you familiar with this?

thank you!

thank you!

I also live in Washington.
I made a list for myself, because I'm sure I'll be way too upset to think clearly when a chicken dies. I stole this infographic off the internet and modified it to be specific to WA state people. It's just for my personal use, and I'm sharing with you, so please don't get me for plagiarism or anything. Here is a link to the form you need to include with the body. https://waddl.vetmed.wsu.edu/docs/l...ionform2017.pdf?Status=Temp&sfvrsn=bd13773b_2

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

You're welcome. I hope it helps. Having stuff spelled out in the simplest possible terms really helps me when I'm upset and can't think straight. I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully they can figure out what happened.

Thank you! I love my Junie so much, I have been force feeding her (and watering her) every day, but it looks like her passing is eminent

I’m so sorry. It’s really painful to know it’s happening and not be able to do anything. Just keep up the supportive care I guess. Maybe there’ll be a miracle.

Do you have a thread for Junie? Do you know what’s wrong with her?

Sorry OP I don't have much in the way of suggestions. Usually if I have one or two who seem off then I'll start by treating for coccidiosis, especially if I've got young ones in the flock. I'll follow that with worming if I'm still seeing symptoms.

Unfortunately if that doesn't work than it may be something viral or fungal which can be nearly impossible to treat. Bacterial infection would be unlikely unless it's secondary to something else.

Did you get all your birds as chicks? Any idea if they've been vaccinated for anything?
