In the Brooder
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post in but here goes anyhow, I'm looking for some advice. This past winter I have lost 3 hens and I'm not sure what is exactly going on, the hens are showing no symptoms whatsoever except for being all fluffed up and not eating or drinking on the same day they are passing, however the day before they pass they are completely fine. I had one hen do this last week so I brought her inside gave her a warm bath and scrambled up some eggs for her and she was completely fine after spending the night inside. I live in Canada so our winters are typically very cold maybe the temperature has something to do with it? I know that hens usually fluff up when they are trying to keep warm but they are fine the days before and the temperature hasn't fluctuated that much. Any advice would really be appreciated, I'm feeling like a terrible chicken mom and just want to do whatever I can to prevent this from happening again .
