Thank you Bubbles12345. Today was a little easier. Yesterday was awful!

Thanks Kathy. It is SO hard to lose one (I've lost young ones to predators on the last) but especially a favorite because they just don't come along everyday.
I did not know that but will file the link for future reference. Yesterday I wasn't prepared for what happened - I thought they would be able to treat her and she'd get better. She's buried in a nice spot, fitting for her place in my heart, under a big, pretty old oak tree.
Thank you, turtlesgalore.
Just got a call from the vet with the fecal sample results from mixed poop from my flock. She said they have a moderate load of Ascarid, which is round round. I'll give them all valbazen tomorrow and again in 10 days.
Now I'm tortured by the thought that my hen was mainly sick from having worms. If something like this ever happens again, I will go slower on decision making. Live and learn the sucky way.
I'm sorry for your loss! We lost our pet RIR Monday and it was terrible! I feel your pain, however we have NO ONE in the area that will treat chickens or even give advice, so I can only go on speculations as to what was wrong with her. We did not even notice any issues until it was far too late and as we were trying to syringe feed her antibiotics she died in my arms, it was awful! Hoping for the best for the rest of your flock! Trying to treat mine for what we think is coccia and hoping that make it through. I never thought I would ever be so emotional over a pet chicken as she was the first we have ever lost. Sweet thoughts sent your way!
