sudden death of chickens can be caused by sudden temperature drops that their bodies cannot cope with.

chickens have a weak immune system so viruses and illnesses can take over quickly and cause death sometimes within a matter of hours

if something hits a chicken pretty hard i.e a car!

foreign object in its body resulting in infection, again with the weak immune system

toxic build up

if your chickens are ex-battery chickens then their immune systems will be very weak

also a radical change in diet, like with the battery hens, their stomachs are accustomed to "layer's MASH" i believe (my chickens are anyway) which is what they were fed in the battery farms, so changing their main intake of food can cause death!
