Culled my Hen, what could I have done?

[EdgeC]

Had a hen, she was 2-3 years of age. (Polish) My only polish, as it was a rehome of a batch of a lady who gave up (due to predation).

She did great, was actually top hen (Mean lady, to other hens GREAT with humans).

About two days ago, she stopped walking. I checked the crop, nothing abnormal, checked her brown eye and everything seemed normal. Brought her inside (quarantine is currently full with incoming chicks.) She at first would not move, layed down about two days... googled a lot and fed her watery scrambled eggs... (Wouldn't eat or drink) and today she would not even open her eyes and just laid there limp... Decided to save her suffering.

Anything I could do to prevent this in the future, any ideas what caused it? All other hens look normal and fine.

Thanks

Sorry for double post, but found some more information.

Could Mycoplasma cause this?
One of my ducks has a swollen watery eye. I have had them separated and being treated. If it could be, I assume the whole flock is infected?

Sorry you lost her. The only way to know for certain sure is to send the body, refrigerated, not frozen, to your state lab for necropsy.

Can you post a pic of the hen showing her eye?
