Thanks for the explanation.
She was, and the other 3 were, barnyard mixes. Two were hatched by my silkie and the other 2 were incubated.
I'm going to stay away from barnyard mixes from now on! I have some beautiful orpingtons that are 4 weeks old and 3 white americunas from a good breeder. Hopefully this last hen is the end of them dying! It's too hard on this humans heart!
Again, thanks for everyone's help!
Windwalker, I'll give you a call if I have to do another necropsy. LOL We can do it over Skype if your too far away!
