[muans]

last night there was an earthquake and when i candle the incubating eggs all have died i guess no moving at all!! is it true that when an earthquake occurs chicks died inside the egg??

I've heard that, but have no experience or scientific data.

The seems very unlikely. I live in California, and we have small earthquakes all the time.

@muans I'm so sorry for your loss. I think maybe some eggs/chicks/chickens are more sensitive than others. My daughter's Bantam Easter Egger hens lay at different times depending upon if something traumatic has occurred (even as simple as my moving their chalet and Eglu w/ run extensions while they are all happily on their roost). I have seen other evidence for extreme chicken sensitivity, such as my own agitation (about something in human life) causing chicken agitation when I interacted with them while in a mood. So, I think it is possible that the earthquake could cause them to die of fright.
