This is always such a shock. I have had this happen a few times in the 20 years I have kept chickens. Sometimes you just find one that passes with no warning. I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you very much for your kind words. It means alot. So far everybody else seems to be doing just fine so I hope this was a random thing. Now if I can get my other girls to start laying again!

I wondered about this as one of my young hens who had just started laying was found dead in her coop this morning and no previous signs of illness. I am very sad about her death.
