Found her tonight

Should I worry about the rest of the flock? Anything I can do.?

Maybe keep a closer eye on them for any odd behavior,
hard to do if you don't have the time.
Good feed and water, plenty of space, etc.
If she was a loner, she could have been ill upon arriving,
or picked on as low bird and couldn't take the stress.
It's possible she wasn't getting enough food/water.
Most flocks carry 'dormant' disease, showing no symptoms until stressed enough reduce immune system function.
I suspect that your flock is carrying something that the dead bird could not fight off,
or it was carrying something that the moving stress allowed to flourish and overcome.
There's really no way to tell what it was unless you have a reputable lab do a necrospy and pathology.

The move was with 4 others 3 of witch seam fine. The last has moved again. It was a long move... 3 miles. I know different coop/other birds etc. but still not long on the road. I guess I’ll just keep a eye on things and hope is was just being picked on to much! Everyone seams happy and “normal” today so....

I would be keeping a good eye on the rest of them.

Yeah, it's not how far they move in miles/time.

Of the few chickens I have lost over many years, most times they die when just beginning to lay or when they come back into lay after molt. May have been an egg laying problem, but only time will tell how your others do.

I've had a couple of mystery chicken deaths. One was a 18 week sussex who seemed listless one day and was dead the next. She was 1 of 16 young pullets, I was pretty concerned about the rest, but everyone else looked very healthy. The second was a 1 1/2 old orpington. Seemed normal, until I found her dead under a roosting bar. Again, the rest of the flock was fine. No wheezing, bright eyes, normal poop, so after watching everyone closely, i let it go.

I've come to accept that there are just some things that are unknowable when it comes to chickens. Or, at least I'm not going to ship every dead chicken off to a lab for testing absent some indication of active infection.

One more thing. To help keep tract of health. I weight my birds at least once a month. Much easier to spot a sick bird when there weight drops. That way your proactive not being reactive. Now I have only 8 birds as of now. Next year I plan on going up to 16. Couldn’t think of it with 100 or so. I wait till they roost for the night. No chasing down birds. I just grab put on digital scale and they stand there for the 2 secs it takes to read the scale.
