As stated previously I’m keeping her in an old brooder, I took her out to get a better picture of her vent for @Eggcessive and her stance.

I meant swaddling in a towel and a cuddle, little soft chat.

Vermex has nothing in it to get rid of worms if she has an infestation. Valbazen 1/2 ml given orally and repeated in 10 days will get all worms except tapeworms, which are usually visible and rare. SafeGuard 1/4 ml for 5 days is also a good one. Those have to be shaken well and a syringe used for accurate dosage. Give orally, not diluted. It can be common for hens to have diarrhea. I would clean her up though.

This hen means a lot to you. Could you take her to an avian vet to get an accurate diagnosis? Once that is known, an effective treatment can be given, if available.

That's exactly what happens to my hens before they die , ive tried numerous things, ACV, Ivermectin,probiotics, antibiotics, pour on wormer for external parasites. It's only been my hybrid hens, never my heritage hens, after they stop laying around 3 years old ,the yellow diarrhea, the fluid coming up, mine is often ascites,water belly. One of them ,my favourite, I kept alive in that condition for an extra year with constant care. I'll be interested to see what the diagnosis turns out to be in your case. I know it's sad, I am very sorry for your for what you're going through.

Update: I think today might be the day she is welcomed into heaven. I’ve done everything I possibly can but she’s taken herself away from the flock and has laboured breathing just sat down alone. I’m doing everything I can but you can sense when it’s too late and I think her time has come

I’ll keep you updated to see if she makes it through.

We all love you Bornville your my star

Oh I am so sorry. I hope she will be with you and comfortable at the end. You did your best and so did she.

Update: She’s gone. We’re all heart broken, she was such a nice hen. Sorry if this sounds disjointed because I’m crying whilst writing it, I just hope she went calmly, her regalness and attitude won’t be forgotten in fact it still makes me laugh, no one will ever forget the joy she bought to me. Thank you @Eggcessive @Sondraa and all the others that have helped me and my lovely hen Bornville.

Sorry that you lost your hen. It is always difficult when you have a special bond with them. Although it is difficult, I usually do a necropsy at home, just to learn something that explains what the problem may have been that killed them. Taking pictures of the organs and findings posted here can help us give opinions. But it is not something everyone can do.

Take care of yourself. This is probably tapping into your grief for your recently departed loved one as well. I hope you have support near you. Let us know how you are doing as you work your way through this if it helps. All the best, S.
