For some reason I have this question under hatching. I’m having a very difficult time with this site.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out.
Honestly bird are sometimes hard to know why without a necropsy.

Hello and welcome. No way to know the reason unless a necropsy is performed by a professional or you give us details we can work with. Have you noticed any symptoms? Odd behavior?

Welcome to BYC.
How old was she?
Was she laying regularly?
Was she eating, drinking, and pooping yesterday?
Was she active, or was she acting lethargic?
Were her eyes clear?

That’s just it. No signs or symptoms. She died in the night and the day before she was fine.
