Do you feed many treats? What feed do you feed?
Fatty liver disease is a common reason for, "sudden death", maybe thats what we're experiencing here. Especially since she was heavy.
I was thinking her weight may have been an issue. We feed them a handful of corn at night to get them put up and they have straight 20% laying pellets. We do feed them scraps and such but it's not a bunch. Between them and the ducks scraps dont stay on the ground long. Once a week they get a handful of oyster shell and that's about it. We do have a flock block on the ground for them but those seeds are cemented on the block seems like....lol. They have to really work to get a chunk off. I do feed them a bag of grass clippings once a week. Chickens like the grass but the ducks love it.
