I have a buff laced polish hen, she is around 18 month old and has been an extremely good layer. For the past 2 months we have had a severe heat wave with temperatures ranging between 99 to 105 degree Fahrenheit. During this most of my other polish hens stopped laying, so did this one.

Hey all,
Just been saddened by the sudden death of my white silkie. She was a good layer and laid an egg a night earlier. I had it for a week and seemed quite active and healthy. I gave her feed in the morning and she looked fine.
When i returned home from work I found her dead in the...
Thanks for your replies :).
However I feel that this is some kind of infection or rather a cold. I can feel he is unable to coo properly as there is some kind of congestion that is causing his voice to break while trying to coo. Good thing is that he is still active and running around here and...
