If vets are good with chooks, then an autopsy would help to answer questions.

How many chooks do you have and what ages are they?
Do they free range or in a run?
Is the house and run covered or open?
What are they fed...incl treats?
What/where do they drink? How often is water changed and drinker cleaned?
Do you use a cleaner to clean things?
Was there any signs of breathing wheezing or watery eyes?
Was she laying?
Where did you buy the hens and did you see the place?
Did the place have turkeys?
