*kind of graphic* What killed this Hen?

[HuskerHens18]

Forgot to ask. How was her body positioned when you found her?

On her stomach, feet straight out, and her head was nearly tucked underneath of her chest, for a split second I thought she was decapitated.

 

[HuskerHens18]

I am so sorry.

I appreciate it. I might have to save up money and make an air conditioned chicken coop someday

Wings kind of out to the sides?

Wings kind of out to the sides?

Yes, they weren't stretched out but they weren't tight against her sides either.

Do you have Marek's in your flock?
I'm not asking because of this hen. Because of your title thing on your profile page.

That confirms heat stroke in my mind.

It came back negative, but I'm honestly not convinced because some of my flock still acts odd. I've got a Belgian Quail who has issues standing out of nowhere, but that's literally it. She still eats, drinks, flies, roosts, and lays eggs. She just can't stand

That's good to know. Well, at least I know nothing broke into my coop and is endangering the rest of the flock.

Hope I’m not wrong! Good luck keeping them cool.

Ok good.
I do not think this death had anything to do with Marek's anyways. I was just wondering.
