I had 4 hens as of this morning. I let them out of the coop and all seemed normal. Two of my girls (an americauna and a new hampshire red) are dependable layers and did so today. I have a much older americauna who I call mom because she mothers the entire flock. In particular she loves to take care of our 5 month old Buff. This afternoon I went to give them their BOSS as a treat only to find the Buff dead in the box with Mom staring at her. Mom is very upset and depressed as am I, but I'm concerned that it may be more than depression. The Buff had no signs of disease and her color comb and feet looked normal. Mom seems normal as well. Any advice as to what I should check for?
