One of my two backyard (tractor) hens just up and died! No idea why. That was about a week ago. The other on still looks ok. I froze her and plan to thaw her this Wednesday and do an autopsy on Thursday. Im a 10-year retired paramedic and my daughter's partner has a ba in animal biology or something like that (she was gonna be a vet but didnt finish). Anyway - I think we might just know enough to be dangerous. Any suggestions before we take a look inside. Like - what my have cause a perfectly healthy chicken to be found sitting in a sleeping position (seated in bedding with head tucked in) deader than a door nail ... quite sad actually. Thanks to all that reply
