She was sitting on nest and went in a few hours later and she was dead. We have been collecting 3 eggs a day with 4 hens. Should we just throw out the eggs to be safe. I would think if she was sick(showed no signs) she wouldn't be laying. She was the only one who's tail feathers didn't come back in. Any ideas ??
 
I had the same thing. I went out to their yard one afternoon and all of the birds were fine. I went out about an hour later and found one of my 8 month old pullets dead. I looked her over and didn't see nor felt anything unusual. I think she probably had a heart attack too.
