    Dead hen - broken neck?

    Found one of my EE hens dead in the pen yesterday. One year old. Not a mark on her and I had not noticed any signs of illness. It's been hot here but really not bad at all compared to most summers. I'm wondering if her neck was broken because the body was in rigor but her neck was extremely...

    Lethargic, skinny 2 week old chick
