I think the info in the articles at the link below will help you understand better what you are dealing with...

In addition...keep an eye out for the scratching of the ear area...she may have mites in that area... if neurological symptoms develop in addition to the scratching or if you see any exudate coming from the ear area (or matting) then please repost that here...

Rosie died sometime early this morning. Gosh darn.

I have the impression that chickens are usually quite robust - but when illiness strikes they can go downhill so fast.

Thanks everyone for your help and insight.

I'm so sorry, that's rough. :aww It's always hard to lose one and that disease it very frustrating. At least you tried to help, that's alot more than most people would do.
