is there any reason my pullet would've died?

Sorry for your loss. It looks like a massacre. I wonder about rats or cannibalism of the older birds. What type of floor do you have? How much room inside the coop? What is the age of the chickens? Are the cockerels trying to mate. Instead of separating pullets, if the cockerels are the culprits, they need to be separated. When the chickens go to roost, I make sure they are all on the roost, and first thing in the morning let them at at daylight. They are ready to go outside at daylight, and if they are crowded or cockerels are starting to mate, they will drive the pullets crazy. How many of each do you have? I would spend time with them in the next few days, and find out if the pullet was killed and pecked to death by the others, or if something dug in or somehow got in to your coop. Are you feeding a balanced grower feed with enough protein? I hope that you can determine what was happening, and prevent any further loss.

Even if starved that doesn’t explain the blood unless she was attacked while eating. Definitely separate them and see how it goes

I've been trying to feed these 5 and they won't eat or do anything. All they want to do is sleep

They may have coccidiosis or be too scared if they were attacked by older birds. Waterers and feeders should be cleaned with soap and water daily, especially in warm weather. Consider treating with Corid for coccidiosis. Symptoms include weakness, not eating, standing hunched and runny poops with or without blood. Dosage of Corid is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water for 5 days. I would raise the feeder and waterer up on 2x4 or bricks to shoulder height so they don’t get poop into them.

They definitely look ill. Blood could have been from poop, especially if they have coccidiosis which is common for birds that age esp when moved to a new environment. I would dose the whole flock. Every waterer should have corid in it. The hunched up ones I would dose orally. @Eggcessive will know more about that

I made one gallon of electrolyte water. I can get corid later but unfortunately I live in the middle of nowhere so I have to drive out of town to get it.

Update: I moved them in a coop with one of my broody Millie le fluers that was sitting on a nest. They seem much more peppy and willing to eat

 

[chickenlover0805]

right now, they're all relaxing (I think because its very hot outside)

Im going to stop at tractor supply and get corid just in case

 

[Eggcessive]

You might consider using (pine shavings) bedding or sand in their coop and run. Be sure to keep everything dry and clean as possible.

Corid won’t hurt them and because of the amount of blood and them all being puffed up (that is a big red flag regardless if weather) I would treat them as soon as you get the corid.
