It wasn't very cold last night mid 60s.

How close are you to the labs in the link I posted?

Nope, I just kinda Sherlocked it out. I was only a couple feet away and saw the chicken drop, wasn't immediate stood for a good thirty seconds then dropped.Reminded me of those fainting goats.I'm not a detective though I only play one in my backyard.

Did you have a necropsy done? If not, you can't say that was the cause of death.

I have had birds of all kinds kill themselves by flying into glass windows. No apparent marks, but sometimes a little blood on the ears or the beak. Not being able to see your house, can't say.

It's okay to say that you think it may have had a heart attack, but to say that it did without knowing for sure is not a good idea.

Too say it didn't is also wrong.....

This is true, and this would be way more likely than four heart attacks.

At this point they didn't have marks on them at all I didn't see any. Can't hotwire fence my kids go out there a lot. Also the one that got away made it out to the run. Dogs could have been barking at something but I dunno. Since it was dark. Now them trying to fly around to get away yes maybe I'm just gonna rebuild coop way better and go from there

Hotwire can be used around kids. Lower output charger on only at night or when kids not out can be additional protection for kids. My kids learned how to negotiate the wire quickly.

Time to slow down.
