    Sudden death of a hen

    I feed them a 24% protein game bird mix powdered and mixed with a budgie seed. I've been feeding them it for years and this was the first death like it.

    Sudden death of a hen

    I've already buried her unfortunately. I'm not even sure there is a lab around here that would do it on her for me. I'll have to look into it if another one passes but I'm hoping not. With any luck it was just age

    Sudden death of a hen

    Hopefully! Her chicks look like they're going to grow up just like her. If they're girls that is.

    Sudden death of a hen

    I do. I've done it successfully before with a hen that already had chicks and the other mother just wanted nothing to do with them.

    Sudden death of a hen

    About three or four years I think. I have another girl who is older though and she's only now starting to look her age. Do you think it could've been old age?

    Sudden death of a hen

    One of my girls hatched a couple chicks the other day. They were all happy in a playpen I set up for them, she's a beautiful bird and was a great mother. Successfully hatched a dozen last year. I went out today to check on her and her bubs and she had died. Usually when one of my birds dies and...
