Dear Clucker chasers,
I lost a 7 month old Rhode Island red sometime last night it seems. I was away the day before and found her this noon. Laying straight out. She is only one of the 2 Reds I have/had. The other 9 are Golden Sex Links and seem to be having no problems.
Was wondering if I fed her the wrong scraps. it was the usual kitchen fare and some dried up pizza. Do you think I might have choked her on the dry crust? Also fed them fresh cilantro. Otherwise the usual layer feed. The others are still laying 14 to 16 every 2 days, no extra light. The coop is insulated but vented. I am attaching the eggs I gathered today. All my layers have brown eggs, and one is almost white. All the rest of the now 10 hens seem to be fine. I will check them again tomorrow.
I would appreciate any brainstorming you can come up with.
