I'm so sorry for your loss.UPDATE: She didn't eat today, nor drink much. I made her a mash which she ate yesterday but didn't want any today. I washed her off with a spray bottle, and checked her vent. It looks normal, not prolapsed or anything. Her feathers had dry poop and blood on them. So what were my chickens pecking at to draw blood, did it prolapse then go back in? Maybe it's worms or a tumor or something, I just don't know and she's very lethargic and going downhill. If she's not better tomorrow I'll probably euthanize her, I don't want her to suffer more. I haven't been able to buy calcium or ointment, I put oyster shell powder in the mash but again she didn't want any.
Update: She passed away this morning, she was dead when I checked on her
I would pick up at least the calcium to have on hand, as I'm just guessing she was egg-bound. Is sending her in for a necropsy possible? You'd find out at least what was really wrong with her.
You'd double bag her and put her in your fridge, not freezer. These are labs that will do it. You may have one close or could ship her to. They explain how.
