Hello friends,
I held my hen in hand today and tilted her a little bit to wash her feet and she started to feel like she is suffocating and she died a minute after.
I'm extremely sad.
I didn't do anything wrong.
All I did was to tilt her a bit to wash her muddy feet.
It kind of felt like there was already water in her lungs and when I tilted her a tiny bit, she couldn't breathe anymore.
She was a very healthy chicken.
Do any of you folks have this experience?
Why a healthy chicken may die if you hold her in hand and tilt her just 10 degree ?
She clearly couldn't breathe and died of lack of oxygen.
As soon I noticed she has hard time breathing, I put her on ground but she died a minute later.
The whole thing happened just too fast.
What kind of condition this is?
Could she have a lot of fluid built up already in her lung that a little bit of tilting caused her lung to get full of fluid ?
Where fluid build up in their body that can so easily flow to their lungs and cause them to not breathe anymore?
I'm very very sad.
This was a very healthy chicken. No way I could imagine this could happen to her her just by lifting her up and tilting her a bit to wash her feet. I didn't put any pressure on her. She just suddenly died in my hand. And the water I pour was just on her feet. I could hear fluid in her lungs because she couldn't breather .
