What are some options as to what it could've been? Those year old chickens were the first ones I've ever had so I don't know too much

The list is way too long to list, just do search for common chicken diseases and you'll see what I mean.

Ok I'll do a search thanks for the info. At five weeks I should be able to tell if my chicks are hens or roosters right?

On some breeds I would think yes.

Some breeds yes, if you know what you're looking for. Most breeds no, though, since it's still pretty early for crowing. Silkies and brahmas- not really. I'd wait until they were crowing or laying eggs to write anyone off for sure. ...

Ok really?

Well I hade a Rhode Island Red that was about a year old vey active and a troublemaker. I came home from work one day and found her just laying there dead like she just fell forward. Why is that?

Who knows. It could have been numerous things. The only way to know for sure is to have a necropsy done. Some states do free necropsies- check with your local extension office for details.
