I was away for one night--chickens secure in their animal proof enclosure. I came home to find one of my 3 yr olds, dead, with her guts protruding out---a bit too squeamish to look closely, could have been coming out her vent, or her side. She looked a bit funky 2 days ago,sitting down--sluggish. No sign of any predators, feathers, etc. just a very bloody mess on her side. Does anyone know what might have happened?
Couldve been prolapse from her vent. The others may have been involved in possibly pecking at it causing it to look bloody on her side.
