First Time Chicken Mama

[chickenmama4life]

Hi, my name is Aimee, I live in Northern Maine. I have 9 chickens and one rooster. I have wanted chickens ever since I was little and this July my parents surprised me with 12 chicks, sadly one didn't make it through the night. When they were old enough we loved them into a coop that is attached to our garage. During the summer I would take them outside for most of the day. Last night when I went to check on them in the coop I found one of my roosters dead and one chicken injured. Right now the chicken is in the house to be watched closely. That is all for now

Hello, and welcome! Have you figured out what happened to them last night so that you can fix the problem before it happens again?
