I was out in the garden tending to the veggies. I found two small zucchinis that had fallen off of the plant. they were about two inches long and looked like the stem had been injured and it had begun to die. I scooped them up and added them to the rest of the treats I was giving to the chickens. My rooster was in "jail" so I divided up the treats and gave some to the hens and some to the roosters. about an hour later, my rooster was dead. He had been acting completely normal. There were no signs of illness. There was also no sign of injury or struggle. everyone else was fine. The only difference was that he ate most of the zucchini, the other rooster had some, and the girls had none. Could he have been poisoned by the zucchini because it was going bad?? I feel horrible!
