I woke up yesterday morning to find my beautiful Red Star, Lizzy, dead in her coop. She was laying peacefully on her back in her favorite laying place. First, given her location, i thought she must have had trouble passing an egg, but i was told that was unlikely since egg bound chickens suffer for days. She was perfectly healthy not 10 hours before. We used to joke that she thought she was a dog 
She followed us everywhere while in the coop and loved to be held and petted.
We are heartbroken, but what makes this especially difficult is we have no idea what happened. My state offers necropsy services for deceased birds, so i have her bagged up in the fridge awaiting drop off tomorrow. All of my other birds seem fine, but so did she
. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Could it be worms? All appear healthy, vibrant combs and waddles, eating and drinking well and so on. The only thing that makes me wonder is they do have loose stools from time to time but no worms are present. Please tell me my babies are gonna be ok!

It does seem to be that way doesn't it, the favorites go first. Lizzy was finally picked up today, so hopefully we'll get some closure. Blessed to live in a state that offers this service.
