Lost my first one

[Miss_Redhead]

Well this afternoon I lost my first hen, Jenny. She was fine this morning, walking around, eating and acting normal in every way. I took a nap and this afternoon she was laying on the ground

She was only just 2 years old and had just started giving me eggs this spring :-(

Only thing with her was missing feathers on her saddle (no roos around) and this morning she must've plucked her most of her tail feathers. Perhaps she was egg bound? I checked her body (she was in with her friend that they were together for 1 year and the almost two-month old babies) no sign of lice/mites/fleas or other bugs and she had a full crop, no broken neck of anything... Only thing maybe was she was sitting on top of the baby's house the other day which she never did...I just really hope my other mature girl and the babies are okay!!

Poor Jenny...RIP

So sorry for your loss. I wish I could give you some answer as to what might have been wrong with her.

Well the babies and my other Am. seem to be doing okay today. Last night the babies kept trying to sit by Henny. Henny just keeps walking around out there, dunno about her but I miss Jenny!
