This same thing just happened to me, my barred rock was not quite 3 years old...when I went to lock them up in their coop last night my barred rock was dead, by herself & all my others were up on their roost. This hen was absolutely fine, robust & energetic. This death was sudden & unexpected, she was laying 3-5 eggs a week since she started laying. I don't have a clue what happened, all the rest of my chickens seem fine.The electrolytes and vinegar are diluted. If I don't add them the water in their bucket turns green with algae. She was happy and active, zero signs. Sudden surprise death. Same happened to her barred rock mate last year.
