sick hen and lost a hen, HELP PLEASE!!

[Aj1911]

ok so yesterday i found one of my GLW's in the corner of the coop unable to stand so i bring her in and thinking it was botulism from something tried to give her a flush (molasses water) but she wouldnt drink and died a few hours later the strange thing is she was perfect 24 hours before that and i mean perfect not a health problem at all, never been sick, no signs AT ALL tell i found her in the coop she also had breathing problems when i found her like she had a hard time breathing.

my other GLW has runny, whitish poop (same and the GLW that passed away) and is acting puffed up and has been for about 3 days but has gotten better she was also sick like this about 2 months ago for about 3 weeks before getting better after a dusting (found mites but since then cleaned the coop, dusted it and all birds) i also had 3 other birds act like this but got 110% better after a dusting so i thought it was just mites.

now today looking around i found a fungus on some wood chips i've been meaning to put in the garden and i noticed it was dry and if i messed with it went all powdery and airborne and i know the chickens messed around in them to get bugs

any help would be awesome.

does the poo look like on this page the one that is white? http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0

I hope someone else can help, it is so upsetting when something happens and you don't know what to do.

yea it is, i lost a GLW last year with a unique color pattern maybe one of a kind, your poo looked just like that and we never found out why =/

this is my second chicken to lose and hopefully my last unless its from old age

anyone?

This kind of poop doesn't look too abnormal, though the greenish bit is a slightly abnormal colour. The white bit is just uric acid which birds excrete,

sorry I can't be more helpful,

My 13 week old roo died last Monday,and his downward spiral sounds similar to what your hen did. It was so fast I had little time to do anything,and nothing I did do helped.I have read of the necro being done,but I just buried mine.If you ever figure out what was causing it I would like to know as it might be what happened to my roo.I was so upset cleaning everything to try and prevent further deaths.
