Help, chicken just died seizures what caused this

[SpottedCrow]

Sounds like she was choking to me also..That happened one time with Jerry...He took too big a bit of Portuguese Sweetbread and it got stuck...we finally managed to get it out and he was fine...
I'm so sorry for your loss.

My 6MO roo named DJ Domino died right next to me just now I'm so freaking sad.

Suddenly lost 7 poults(baby turkeys) in a similar fashion! I've been by the book all the way so I don't know what happened! They flopped and jerked like a seizure, had labored breathing for less than a minute and died! All within 2 minutes of each other! What happened?????????

Sorry for your losses... Seizures and labored breathing are often just part of the dying process.

I would have a necropsy done:
