She has gone. A horrible experience for us as we've never had to put down an animal before.
I have to wonder if it was sour crop because a lot of water came pouring out of her beak. She'd drunk a lot though. Her crop felt squishy today, whereas it had felt empty before. The dark comb had me wondering. I know it doesn't look dark in the photo, but it was very purple in comparison to the other chickens, who's combs looked more of an orangy-red in comparison.
