Hi all,
My husband and I have 7 chickens, who have been looking wonderfully healthy since we got them. When he got home from work today, all the chickens but one were out in the outside run. The other one was in the coop, dead. We hadn't seen any signs that anyone was sick. Any thoughts about what could have happened? I'm sure there are plenty? I suppose I could do my own autopsy, but not sure I could stomach it. I'm very curious. I, of course, hope it's not avian flu. I live in Massachusetts so it's nothing they've found around here, but it's worrisome, regardless.
Thanks.
