chicken with heavy breathing

[couballjenkins]

my hen has been breathing hard and got a little heavier and her comb also got darker too. she has been like that for a few weeks and only poops out little pebbles. she is still eating and drinking but doesn’t move around and her legs are wide when she walks.

She may have water belly, or coelomitis/egg yolk peritonitis. Has she laid eggs recently?Those can be common causes of eventual death in hens. The dark comb may be a sign that she isn’t getting enough oxygen from her heart. Does her crop empty overnight? What do her poops look like? If you have any pictures, those may be helpful.
