    Chicken doing somersaults, looses consciousness, and back to normal.

    Hello everyone. Unfortunately, Tweety didn't make it. She passed away naturally this morning. No vet was able to confirm what was wrong with her. I don't think I can ever love another chicken the way I loved her, so for the moment being, I no longer raise chickens. 😞💔

    This actually makes a lot of sense... I am trying to sort out a vet visit as someone just gave me a vet's number who is knowledgeable on chickens... Fingers crossed!

    Chicken doing somersaults, looses consciousness, and back to normal.

    Thank you for your message! No, we usually keep her in the garden during the day (except for when she appears week like today - we can tell that she is going to have an attack as she acts differently). During the night we keep her in the cage too as we bring her inside as we do not want her to...

    Thank you for your message! She was born at the end of May 2020, so around 9 months old. We feed her chick crumbs from the pet shop.

    Chicken doing somersaults, looses consciousness, and back to normal.

    My chicken is doing sudden somersaults. Then, she lays unconscious for a while - when the "attack" is not very bad she lays for only a minute or so, but when it is very bad she lays for hours. Then, she regains consciousness and acts normal as if nothing happened to her. Can anyone help me? The...
