    Hens molting and still laying...

    My 2yr old chicken just dropped dead....

    Im new to the chicken world, I’ve had the first part of my flock for 2 years and just added new ones this spring. So I’ve never had one die before. I’m really at a loss as to why my 2 year old Orpington dropped dead. I found her in the run with the other chickens when I came home so I’m not sure...
