Did my chicken freeze to death or was it some other reason

[Sue Gremlin]

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost a young hen during the polar vortex last month because she was sick and thin and just didn't do well in the extreme cold. I ended up euthanizing her and looking inside, and she had egg yolk peritonitis.

@WindingRoad
Impacted gizzard.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Sorry...are you skipping through the thread?
I quoted the post that included the necropsy results.

Fatty liver disease can kill a perfectly normal looking/acting bird in a instant too.

Read some more Impacted gizzard.

I quoted the post that included the necropsy results.

And yet you offered fatty liver disease. Now I'm confused.

Keep reading.
There is an answer as to what happened.

Where do you see in my post that I suggested anything other than that the hen didn't freeze to death?

I think you are getting confused because you possibly aren't reading the thread in order. Not quite sure.

When someone "quotes" a post they are usually speaking directly to the person they quoted.

Does this make sense?
If not I'll try to say it in a different way.

I really don't care. You mentioned FLD after the post about impacted gizzard. I'm not sure how that is any different from my post. I never offered a reason just that she didn't freeze to death.

She was probably sick and the cold just pushed her over the edge. I am so sorry for your loss.
