I had a less than 1 year old pullet pass away ago 4 days ago. She was on a nest, so I assumed it was a laying issue. This morning I found a 6-7 year old dead hen in the coop on the floor. She was of normal weight, and had no visible external parasites. I have 39 total chickens now and 13 ducks.
It has been wet, but they have a dry area of the run to go to as it is on a slope.
The only thing new I have done is put down Sweet PDZ last week.
I have the 2nd hens corpse still that I may submit to the ag office.
If it is avian influenza wouldnt the other chickens have symptoms?
Possible internal parasites?
I am in Maryland.
