So just fluffing out feathers..Looking ill?..Possibly coccidiosis or something fast killing? Did they display symptoms for days? Or just drop dead quickly?

 

[granny25uk]

No just fluffed up then died that nite

Can't be the house or pen unless you have something toxic your using ?

nothing toxic. Just normal good cleaning,

Chickens carry so many diseases it's hard to know what's going on without a necropsy done.....Sorry for your loss...

I had 3 chickens all in separate coups .2 months ago I went out to feed them and found my beautiful coco dead in her house . So I fumigated the house and pen and last week I moved Tilly into cocos house . this morning ive gone to feed her and she was dead just the same as coco . I don't know what to do and don't know whats killed them . Ive kept chickens for 18 yrs and never had this problem . They weren't old

neither of the 2 that died had any of the mereks symptons . Coco blew up in size two days before she died and the same thing happened to Tilly when I put her in cocos house and pen. thankyou for your help

sorry I meant puffed up

I'm sorry for your loss
The only way to truly know the cause of death would be to send the body for further testing/necropsy.

That said, how long was Tilly in the different housing before you she became sick and died? Coccidiosis comes to mind and/or eating something toxic, moldy or rotten.
Blowing up in size is a bit odd - was her crop full?
