Hi everyone, I am so upset because one of my newish pullets died at some point last night. I checked on them before I went to bed and everyone was fine. When I got up and checked on them one was dead in the little dog crate I have in their enclosure. I have had them over a month with no signs of illness. She was about 5 months. The other pullet in her enclosure (from the same hatching) had a small amount of blood on her beak and there were some feathers about, but hard to say if it was more than usual. They have been together since I got them and seem to get along beside little squabbles. It’s not possible that she killed her, right? Also, today I had a huge rat snake in the yard. Is it possible it got in their enclosure and got her, but didn’t/ couldn’t eat her for some reason? I’m sorry to even post I’m just upset and would like some opinions. I sent her off to have a necropsy done. Just really upsetting. Everything was going so well.
