Silkie Dead

[KKluckers]

I went out to the coop/grow out pen this morning and my little splash silkie hen was dead. She is about 5-6 weeks old. They have a heat lamp and it stays warm in there. I did notice she would shiver and not run around a lot like the others. I though she might just be lazy. All the other chicks she has been with seem healthy. I have looked all over the web for what it could be and wanted you opinion. Could it of been neurological? Vitamin deficiency? Marek's? Marek's they usually grow thin right?

Sorry for your loss. I don't know what happened...hopefully someone else will be able to help you figure it out. That's gotta be the worst thing...not knowing.

I'm sorry about the baby, Chris. Probably just one of those things, maybe just a weaker chick, especially if you saw no actual symptoms.
