I had an EE who was going through what I thought was her first molt. She lost a lot of feathers, but otherwise seemed fine. This began in October. Yesterday, she seemed lethargic and stayed in one corner of her run. At night, she went up to her coop but was not roosting when I checked her. This morning I found her dead. Obviously, I'm suspecting something other than molting but have heard that molting can be very hard on hens. Has anyone heard of a hen dying during molting?
