Hi beechnut

I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. I'm very new to keeping hens myself so can't give you any clues about the cause but I'm sure someone with some experience will be along with some info soon.

Oh, how sad. I can sympathise as one of mine died a couple of weeks ago & just the same, showed no visible signs of anything wrong other than being a bit quiet.

Apparently chooks don't have much inbuilt survivor instinct & quite often 'give in' if they're feeling ill. I hope the others are OK, keep an eye on them, just in case.

Thanks
All seems ok with the others so far

Sorry about your loss, hens do go down hill very quickly sometimes with no apparant symptoms.
