Our family saved an Australorp from being ran over in an industrial core in October. We are from the City but decided to take this chicken home and keep and raise her as our pet. She was a young chicken. After ALOT of research we made her a coop and fed her cracked corn, "golden harvest" a brand of chicken feed. Occassionally some fruits and veggies. She started laying eggs two months ago, the eggs were perfect, and she laid an egg a day. Yesterday morning we checked on her and she was laying on her nest alive and doing well. We changed her water and made sure her food was topped up. Upon returning home from work 8 hours later we found her on her back dead. We are very devistated to find her dead without warning. She seem so happy and healthy. Can anyone help us understand why this happend???? Please
