My healthy mother chicken was found dead one afternoon. There were no symptoms or signs prior. She had hatched and incubated five chicks that are now two months old so she was getting back into socializing with her adult flock and was doing just fine. She was also the "top" of the pecking order so of course there was no signs of pecking, she just burrowed her hole in the dirt and was found that way dead several hours later. I have researched and cannot find any sort of diseases that would suddenly cause this in an 18 month old chicken. Any ideas?
