New member, just lost a chicken today

[carlape]

Hello,
I am a new member and just lost a chicken today from seemingly sudden death. I believe it is only 2 years old. Any suggestions as to what might have happened? She was a Cochin.

Thanks,
CP

Welcome to BYC. There are many reasons why a chicken can die. It would be best to post in the "emergency" section and give as much details as possible and perhaps you'll get responses. Sorry for you loss.

Sometimes, it just happens. Sad, but a fact of chicken owning.
