This is just a question I have wondered about. My aunts hen died about a month ago she had no signs of being sick at all was eating and drinking fine.

Before she went to bed she fed her light bread and gave her water. When she woke up the next morning she was dead could the bread and the water have killed her? We wondered this I thought maybe the bread swelled in her crop and choked her. I dunno could this have happened?
 
My chickens always eat bread and often drink a lot after. I suppose that if the condition were just right, the bread might have swelled up too much, but I would also think that the chicken would be able to regurgitate its food. The crop seems to be incredibly flexible, I've been amazed as to how much my chickens can squeeze in there.
