Last night when I was getting ready to bring the chicks into the coop, I found one dead. It had just very recently died as the body was still very warm and limp. The chicks were all eating and drinking and acting just fine. What in the world caused him to suddenly die?? I'm worried for the other chicks now. They're not showing any signs of illness, but I'm wondering now if my chick happened to have a heart attack or something? He had no wounds and no obvious signs of illness or injury. Just flat out dropped...
We just recently moved them outside, and they have been great so far. So I'm really just wondering now, what can cause a chick to just suddenly die?
