Let me add this.
Chicken number two, I realized was NOT dead. Looked dead, totally paralyzed instead. Then it got back up and started walking around - and then freaking out. Confused, running into the fence, crazy - so my husband has culled it.
There is no diarrhea in the flock that I can see - normal stools. No lethargy ahead of time except for a short peroid of time.
I currently have one twitching and puffed up. I fear she will be next. She was acting fine an hour ago.
Hi,
I could really use some advice/direction. I have no idea what is going on here. My flock is in my yard during the day, in the coop at night.
Two chickens have died today - both went into seizures and convulsions and dropped. No warning signs for the one that just did - the first one...
Maybe this is why many swaps aren't organized?

Oh my. My daughter just commented that she wants a bunny!
But we have no hutch. And I'm not building ANYthing else right now. Are rabbits happy in those wire cages?
Is it going to be an indoor or outdoor bunny? You can easily litter box train them-- rabbits are a lot smarter...
Nice to meet you all today! Dummy me went without knowing anyone's *real* name.
We just got the sweetest bunny from itsmyaddiction (what's your name?). And I can't wait to plant my Boston Marrow plants!!!
K, peeps, I'm heading out. I'll be there by 9 - I'm about 1:45 away, and gotta count in a Dunks stop for CAFFEINE!
The sun is peeking here, so lets hope it peeks there!
