I went down tonight to shut the door on the coop . Thought I smelled something . In the coop in the corner was one of my newer chickens dead. She was about 5 months old. I got her out , but it was to late to clean up in there. . Some maggots had already appeared. Not sure what happened to her. She was well this morning. My question is I'm worried about the others. wounder if they will eat the maggots that are left there. . I need to clean what do you all use to clean up after something like this.
 
The chances of them getting sick from the maggots is slim to none. I would be more worried about what killed the hen. Any ideas? She was far more dangerous to your birds than a few maggots if she had something catching.
