Frazzled chicken tender
Songster
Thanks in advance for any insight or possible explanations. I just want to know if I need to change how I am taking care of my flock. She seemed fine day before yesterday, and possibly even yesterday as well, according to my daughter. It is unusually humid and hot this morning and last summer she seemed to struggle with the heat. Her vent looked prolapsed when i examined her this morning, but no egg protruding. I think she must have been straining to lay an egg this morning when she died. I provide oyster shell so wondering if this was an infection. She was an easygoing, big gal, who was struggled a bit to keep up with the flock due to her size, but otherwise seemed fine.
