Chicken's can die of many things, heat may not even be the cause with these, if the others are not even panting, I would expect the ones that died had some other problem, they can go quite awhile with heart defects or develop tumors, almost all chickens are very inbred and such defects are common, all looks fine until well into the lay cycle, then they die, it could well be that the ones to die early where predisposed to heat stress due to a different trouble and died from a level of stress that healthy birds would be ok with. J.R. did the right thing to ask, now he knows more about it than he did before and that is what this forum is suposed to be all about, NOT telling people off to becuase you don't agree with what they do.
