Graphic photo warning.
I found my Margaret today. She had passed and was long gone. She was my head chicken, black austalorp about 2 ½ years old. I noticed last night that her comb had flopped over but the color hadn't changed. Also last night Norma was acting bossier than normal (Norma's a jerk) maybe she knew Margaret wasn't well? But I couldn't tell, other than the comb. When I found her today she was lying on her side, feet outstretched and slightly in the air. No other signs of distress. Im not interested in dissecting her. Just curious if anyone has any theories. Thanks.
