Gander just disappeared

[Goosebaby]

I found him passed away in the coop this morning I'm guessing he died from shock/stress. I know everyone automatically thinks avian flu with stuff like this but he didn't display any avian flu symptoms and I havent had any unexplained sudden deaths. We havent had any cases in my state either thank goodness. Poor guy.... Fly high buddy, I hope you get to scream at hawks to your hearts content!!

I’m so sorry! Birds don’t actually die from stress unless they have a preexisting condition or severe illness, he must have had a heart defect, poor guy!
There’s nothing you could have done, something like this would have happened eventually,
The important part is you gave him a good home and good memories for his time here on earth.

Rest well sweet gander and may the universe be full of wonders for you.

Good to know, I did get him from a backyard breeder when he was 10 days old and he was terrified of me.

Truth is there isn’t a sure way to prevent something like this from happening, sometimes it’s genetics, sometimes defects can be caused from incubation issues, sometimes they happen for no known reason at all.

Very sorry for your loss.
