She's just keeping Twist guessing! Keeping him on his toes. Doing her job as the Granny in the group!

Are they fat ? sounds like heart/ stress death. unless its very hot and you moved them in boxes or such ?

he put all the hens into 1 extra large dog carrier. I personally think it was a combo of stress and smothered and maybe old age as she was 2 yrs or a little older. Had I been around to see what he was doing I would have told him make 2 or 3 trips.

we have a light breeze at the farm today 25 to 35 mph and never broke 70* so I am chilled but good. Actually had the heater in the truck running on my way back to town.

nice hot shower will feel good. hot meal and warm puppys and you will be snoring in no time.

So Rod moved all the Silver lace out of the annex today and into Gen pop. So how in the move we ended up with a dead hen. NOT counting that one I have lost 9 hens out of the annex in less then 2 months. And of course no rooster's have been carried off

Dead but not eaten? Any wounds or predator damage or did she just keel over? Maybe you have a disease thing going on. Mold maybe? Was she a good body weight... getting enough food? If you still have mean Queens, maybe they are guarding the food.

nope she just keeled (pun intended) over was a nice healthy weight. I still have a few mean queens but they weren't in the same coop/run until today. I know some of the old brahma hens just died of old age BUT have still lost over 40 other hens. NOT that many bodies were found so the coons carried a bunch off some where.

The hen that died today went into the live trap as bait this evening.
