Silkie suddenly died

[Matthew2011]

Found my silkie Cockrell dead this morning he seemed fine the night before and after I had a good look at him he had like water coming from the nostrils.

Hello, Matthew, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
So sorry for your loss.
Would you consider getting a necropsy done on him to determine the cause of death?

I put him in the ground at the end of the garden, I have 1 silkie sitting on 2 eggs in the same coop but she's on her own now the eggs should hatch in 2/3 days do you think that the hen will be ok

It's hard to know without knowing what killed him. Hopefully, she will be fine.
