Our Isa Browns died like that, well three of the five. The other two were murdered.I had a hen drop dead. She just went to the light and didn’t look back.
I went out Friday around noon, I was home for lunch, and got the eggs. She was a little broody at times, she was sitting in the nest box on 3 eggs so I reached under her to get them.
She seemed fine, I rubbed her and went on my way.
About 9pm I went out to close the coop and noticed she wasn’t on the perch with the others, not super unusual she stays in the house at night sometimes.
I opened the roof and could see she was in the nesting box still. I was talking to her, asking if she wanted me to put her with the others…then I touched her and felt that her neck and head was hanging out of the box and she was cold.
She looked like she just laid down and went to sleep. She had already laid her egg so not stuck. She had no problems breathing or no other symptoms I noticed. She just died.
I don’t know how old she was as I got her as an adult. She was a Sussex cross so should be relatively long lived
I cleaned out the coop. New pine shavings everywhere and diatomaceous earth sprinkled out. I ordered the highest rated all natural wormer/antiparasitic on Amazon. Put some DE in their pellets and mixed well to coat it all.
First one ever that died of natural causes. Most end up eventually murdered by a hawk or something. As a very methodical and slightly OCD man I want to cover the bases.
New rooster is working out well. He is super attentive and isn’t hard on the hens. As a bantam he can’t really hurt them anyway. He watches the sky diligently and constantly “talks” with little purrs and clucks. He is a cochin and I think I want another one. My sister has several and multiple cochin roosters seem to be able to get along. More eyes on the skies is good.
Zeus, my rooster

Got 12 new ones in the brooding box now. A mix of a few breeds. Some Americana, Easter Egger, Sapphire Gem, and two Brahma
Chickens will up and die for no apparent reason sometimes. Honestly I have found that purebreds do this more than mongrels. Hybrid vigor I suppose. These days I keep purebreds for the characteristics I want in the flock and cull the ones that don’t make the standard. My random deaths have gone way down.
I ran 30 Aguila 60g SSS through with zero issues
Back to the Aguila Super Extra, it had 5 failures to fully cycle the slide in 50rds

I want to try AutoMatch next, I will pick some up this week. WM has boxes for $19.99 (Rollback!) and it is pretty available. I have not seen red box Federal bulk in a while, the blue box Champion I see at times. I have a good bit of red box.
The fact that Contact cycles well is a testament to Eley and their lube and bullet quality. Lead RN but smooth and slick. 42g helps probably.
SSS is actually on the approved list and I happened to have 30. Cool that it runs. As a side note it runs in my 15-22
Super Extra just seems to not have quite enough ooomph to cycle fully every time. It runs in my insanely reliable 15-22 which is what I bought it for.

Overall happy with the slide and it feels great on the GG frame. I cleaned it easily and it seems to cycle much smoother now compared to yesterday.
Yes you should buy one

the new brood, will be without fresh eggs for a bit, but should be overrun with them once they start producingI had a hen drop dead. She just went to the light and didn’t look back.

The wiff would have that many if I said ok. I’d have to move them out back to the old hog barn and pen them in there. This is too many for the backyard for me
He used come into my dads pharmacy when I was a kid. He was surprised when I knew who he was. All thanks to Sgt. Rock comics!
I used to read those too. There was another one about a tank crew. Their tank was named the J. E. B. Stuart.
My 1st wife asked me what I'd do if I won the lotto told her I'd get a divorce, she'd be to ugly for a rich man like me , she failed to see the humor in that, stupid bitch.

So is that a long way of saying it’s chicken fricasse tonight?
My ex-wife emailed me with a dinner invitation shortly before she declared bankruptcy. That's after accusing me of everything except murder in court and declaring herself a genius in all fiscal matters.
Prior to that, all of her e-mails were full of hate, dripping with evil.
Oh but, golly gee whiz, that wonderful dinner invitation must have been a coincidence.
The last time I saw her was when I was behind her, in line, at the restaurant with another sucker. I didn't recognize her from behind but could tell it was her by the bats circling above her head with the black peaked hat.
