I've lost some hens recently, and I know how hard it can be. Especially since it's tough to find good answers about what went wrong.<BR/><BR/>Could it be possible your laying hen had Marek's disease? It often stunts growth. Slow growth was actually the first symptom I noticed in my pullet who eventually died of Marek's. Then she started limping and eventually just passed away.<BR/><BR/>I had my new chicks vaccinated for Marek's as a precaution, and you might want to look up the symptoms just to see if that's what your girl had. It's a really common disease, but also pretty easy to vaccinate against.<BR/><BR/>Again, sorry for your losses. Good luck with the rest of your flock.EAPPsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14094126631412611631noreply@blogger.com
