Hi all, I had my healthiest 8 month old ("alpha") black sex link hen turn up dead overnight in the chicken house. She was laying fine, eating lots, acting as feisty as usual and then this morning, on her side stiff (no visible wounds or neck injury or illness signs). We live in the Pac NW, and it did drop down to 35 degrees last night, but we have a heat lamp in the house on for them and none of the others appear ill. Any thoughts on what might have done this?
