I've gone out to my coop and found a chicken keeled over, same with my friends who raise chickens. It just seems to happen and isn't exactly uncommon. I don't think there's much one can do besides provide food and water. It seems that occasionally there's gonna be a bird that just doesn't make it. If you start finding one or two a week dead, then that to me clearly indicates there's something else causing premature mortality.
