    Lost a hen today - not sure why?

    If doing a necropsy is an option for you, I totally recommend the experience. I'm new to chickens too and learned a lot when our first chicken died a couple months ago. We were not brave (although we did suck it up and killed her ourselves) and sent her to a lab, but it put our minds at ease...
