So this morning I went out to the coop earlier than usual. I wanted to do some work on the coop before the heat hit. I was working on one end of the coop. One of my reds jumped in the coop and started bocking away. So I thought I'd check for eggs just in case. So I open the door to the nest box and there was Dead Red (she almost died as a chick hence the nickname). She somehow got her head stuck between the nest box and the door (the door must have gotten pushed on allowing a gap to form). Her neck got broke in the struggle to get free. I am so bummed. I'm removing that nest box tonight.
