    Are heavier chicken breeds more prone to heart attacks?

    I know it's more common in commerical broiler breeds that are bred to grow big in such a short amount of time, but what about other big chicken breeds like brahmas? My light brahma hen, who was 4 years old, suddenly died and I don't exactly know what caused her death so quickly, she was acting...

    Chickens died trying to escape

    So we adopted two adult chickens three days ago because we only had one chicken left and we figured she needed some company. Both chickens had severely messy bottoms and irritated back sides and were very skittish of people. We tried our best to clean them up and introduce them and our chicken...

    Silkie died! Sudden Death Syndrome?

    My 8 1/2 month old Silkie cockerel died today. I witnessed it and can only conclude it was Sudden Death Syndrome or something similar. All my birds were foraging quietly in the backyard. I was talking to DH in the side yard separated from the back by 4’ chain link fence. I heard a sharp...

    Sudden death during bumblefoot treatment

    This afternoon I was treating my 4 year old Lavender Orpington rooster for a minor case of bumblefoot. I had soaked his feet (he seemed a little stressed but no worse than normal for that situation) and I had him flipped over and was trying to dislodge the scabs from his foot pads so I could...

    Our chicken just died, can they have heart attacks?

    We have a silver Wyandotte that had a pasty butt. So we caught her and had her upset down in my lap with her head laying over my knee not quite touching the floor. We were cleaning her vent and when we finished I brought her back up to let her loose and she was dead. My husband thought she might...
