Last night we had some bad rain and relatively heavy winds, this morning I found one chicken dead and flattened in their boxes and another unable to stand or walk. The dead chicken had been having trouble standing due to developmental issues and I think she may have suffocated under the weight of the other 7 while huddling together last night. Another chicken was found on the ground unable to walk or stand, she was cold so I covered her in a towel and have been unable to find what to do online. Please help.
