Sudden death of two barred rocks?????

[Beakz]

Hey everyone,
So a couple of weeks ago a barred rock of mine suddenly died. It had no cuts or indications of a fight. Last night the same thing happened to another barred rock. They're about 20 weeks and I have 8 chickens now. Is this some weird disease?? It doesent get very cold her in cal, maybe 40s at night as the coldest?? Help!!

Might just be a genetic disorder- a heart weakness or something. Sometimes they are just dead for no apparent reason.

Sometimes, animals just die. I have had a couple of chickens turn up simply dead with no apparent cause.

When my die mysteriously I get them necropsied to avoid possible flock epidemic.
