French Toulouse geese

[graham67]

Hello My names Graham
I had 3 french Toulouse geese but unfortunately 2 days ago I lost one of my females.
I normally lock the birds away at night for safety but the bird I lost refused to get off her nest and even when I attempted to persuade her to move she seemed a little off her legs so I left her alone thinking she was about to lay an egg.
The next morning a found her flat on her belly dead. This was a big loss to me because she was a favorite. Does anyone know what may have caused this? I'm beating myself up thinking it was my fault in some way.
such a sad loss

Are you in the US?
For the future...each state has a state lab where you can send a bird's body for a necropsy to for an answer.
