[kiwi-chookn]

I had a crook chook that was holding its head in quite alot,I noticed she died yesterday,no signs of injury at all.
Does anyone know what this could be?
She seemed slow and walked slowley as well.

Well, you want to always make sure their houses are clean and dry otherwise bacteria can start to develop. Did it have normal poop from what you could tell?
