Hi everyone. I’m really sad to say but one of my laddies just dropped dead seemingly out of now where. She was almost 2 years old and a Brahma. She was acting completely normal today. Eating,drinking, pooping like normal. She’s been laying normal eggs but we didn’t get one from her today. Just out of nowhere I noticed her in the middle of the yard and it almost looking like she was convulsing or having hiccoughs but her mouth was closed. She dropped to the grown and tried to stand back up but her body was shaking and she just dropped down again and died. It happened so fast I just don’t understand. No obvious signs of trauma. The vet we take them to is closed and the emergency vets basically said they couldn’t help us for an autopsy. I’m just nervous this could happen to my other chickens. Has anyone experienced anything like this before or have any guesses? I’m worried about my other girls and my heart is broken
