Hi Everyone
I've had my hens for 2years now and recently 2 have died. One minute they was fine the next they was dead- no injuries, marks etc etc.
One was a warren and the other was a brown leghorn
What age do hens die?
Also since the weather has gone really cold my Minorcan cockerel really isn't looking well. He isn't crowing at all hasn't for last 3 days, eyes don't look as bright.
Brought him in a few times check he was eating and drinking and he is.
Put him in-between his birds last night and he still didn't crow or seem overly himself today.
Is this old age or does he have an illness?
