My hen Onyx struggles mightily every time she needs to lay. She lays one egg a week. For 12 hours before she lays she is in obviously terrible pain. Hunched over, wings on the ground, eyes closed, laboring to breathe, not flocking, barely moving for 12 hours.

He loved...

I don't know, what am I going to find that they aren't? I'm a goldsmith I make jewelry, I could cut open my baby girl but I don't know what I'd be doing or looking for.
Amber died this morning.
At 6 am she got off the roost poles and sat under them until 9 am, where she sat puffed up with her wings out a bit, and at 10 am she shuddered, threw her head back a little, laid down and died.
I don't know what's happening.
I emailed Dr. Porter and he said he didn't...
I am back to resurrect this thread, as one of my adult birds has died as a result of her symptoms. I'm frustrated, sad, and crying, but hopefully this presents an opportunity to learn more about what's wrong. I've contacted the pathologist that was working with me on this case, and he's agreed...
