I found one of my chickens dead yesterday
I feel awful because I let them out and then left which I normally never do but I figured my parents were home. I guess they either didn't know I was gone or didn't know they were out. Anyway, I was gone a few hours and came back to lock them up, noticed one missing (and checked and rechecked the coop and small run over and over again), then went looking cause I thought maybe she just hadn't made it back yet and wouldn't be alive in the morning if I didn't find her soon. And then in my looking, that's when I found her. Just laying there.
I feel awful. I never should have left and really, I never should have let them out so late in the afternoon. I knew it was a little later but I if t wanted them to enjoy some sunshine.
Anyway, what killed her? I think the head is still there
