I got 5 out of 12, but since 4 of mine are pullets from last april that means that only 1 or 2 of my older girls bothered to make an effort. It's been pretty hit and miss with them starting back up. One will for a day or two then nothing for weeks. My pullets are really my only consistent source. Now to convince my girlfriend who moved in after last spring that it's OK to eat the older girls to make room for spring chicks. She is adamant that she won't eat them and that's fine. More for me and the kid, but she has other constraints. "You can't kill that one. She has a fluffy butt. I like it." UGH!

Welcome so sounds like maybe the kid will be your greatest ally in this

Arrrrhhhh my lovely Matilda has passed away . I just went down to get my little guy an egg for his brekkie and I saw her in the corner of the coop. I didn't get her out as I'm still in my PJs and I didn't really want R getting all upset before he goes to school so I'll have to go and get her later. She is a black sex link type chicken - I did notice she was on the nest box a lot yesterday and I thought I'd double check on her and give her an all over today but it was obviously something serious I know these hybrid layers are not going to live as long as heritage breeds and are prone to reproductive issues but she was only 16 months old, I thought I'd have her a bit longer than this . She was one of my original 3 I got to start my flock Christmas 2017 and they were my babies, I carried them and handled them a lot (thier coop origianally was in a lean too on the house and thier run in the garden so until they learnt to follow me back and forwards I carried them). She was so lovely - probably my favorite of the 3 . Now I think of it the only thing I noticed was that she had feathers that seemed a bit thin on her butt (one of the things I was going to check on today), I'm now wondering if it was swelling. Devestated I didn't want to disturb her on the nest yesterday, she might still be here.
RIP Matilda

Should I do an autopsy for my own knowledge? Does anyone know of any good instructions?

Thank you.
I've performed my first ever autopsy on her and posted a thread here if you want to see it:
