Went into the hen house to gather the eggs to day and 1 of our hens was dead on the floor. Some of the eggs in the nest boxes where bloody. So I examined the dead hen to find that her vent was badly lasserated, lots of dark red blood losing out. I could not find a blood trail in the straw and she was still warm. My theory is that an egg got stuck, broke an she bleed out.
Am I on the right track as why she passed or am I missing something? By the way she started laying end of August this year(2020).
Just need to know if there is something to watch out for down th road.
 
I’m so sorry about your hen!:hugs
I’ve not heard of this happening, but it sounds like you may be right. Hopefully someone will chime in :hugs
