Shut eye and lethargic

Looks like a peck mark maybe.

Are you sure that is a hen?

If it’s not it will be the first rooster in history to lay eggs daily for over a year. lol. She is also the only white egg layer we have.

Sudden deaths can be from fatty liver disease which is caused by eating too many treats/not a proper balanced diet.

I need to add a qualifier here. The sudden death was a young chick and a rooster who ate a substance that he could not breakdown. Shame on me!

I see A LOT of scratch like stuff all over the floor of your run. That shouldn't be fed regularly and if fed at all only a small spoonful worth per bird per day.

As far as “scratch” goes, this is layer feed from our local farm store. They have been eating this for about 10 months now and had no issues. We do not feed scratch grain of pure cracked corn to our ladies nor do we feed a lot of treats, unless you consider table scraps as treats.

Thanks again for the help!

She is acting better today and her eye is open a little. I sprayed more antiseptic on and in her eye. Thanks for checking.
