I don't think he got bit by anything poisonous. I live in North Central Wisconsin. The weather has been drastically changing. Last week we were in the 70s and this week we're in the '50s during the day. In the evening, temperatures can get as low as 30° right now. But his sudden death happened...
My cockerel, Emeril, died suddenly today. I went outside before going to work at approximately 4:30 p.m. ,my husband went out about 5:30 to 5:45 p.m. to feed and found Emeril dead.
When I came home from work tonight I check over Emeril and there was no signs of injury, lice, mites or worms...
