No signs of attack she was in the coop all night she was acting just fine and she is only 6 months old!

So I am pretty new to chickens and this is my first death. I have 11 hen and 1 rooster. I raised them all but 2 from day 1. (I have had the 2 for about 2 months now.) I woke up this morning to find Lucy one of my RIR dead and I have no idea why!!! Last night was the first night I did not check...

She was completely fine all day and now she is doing to same thing. I tried to upload a video but it won't let me I will try a shorter one.

She did the same thing all night squatting down not roosting feathers kinda out and looks stressed. This morning she looks just fine!

Yes she is alert! And she pooped quite a few times through the night! Should I put here back with her flock Well last night was long! She was quite and calm. Around 4am she started pooping and did quite a bit till about 8am. At that she she seemed to be herself so I put her back outside. She...

Thank you for your help! We never wanted any Roosters. And now we have 3. We are so sad about this! The RIR was Injured at a week old and i held him all the time. We was my baby and then he started to look different. I don't want to get rid of any of them. But it sounds like the boys should go...

The RIR has been mating for a few weeks now. In the beginning we didnt know what was going on and one time we thought he was killing one of the buff orpingtons. So we intervened and she had blood on her face and comb and she looked like she had a black eye. And whenever he went near them they...

What happens then?

And why is no roo mating with the black or the blue Cochin?
