I was in my yard yesteday afternoon working and my wife found my blue swedish hen under the redbuds apparently napping. However when I walked over I found she was dead and appered to have died sometime earlier in the day. She had no apparent wounds from predators and her plumage was just perfect. She was perfectly fine the day before and had been swimming in the wading pools the night before. I am very baffled because she was a healthy young hen that had been successful in laying many eggs earlier in the year. She was paired with a Saxony male and both wandered together and talked together constantly. Anybody else experience this situation??
