fighting threw the fence with my
other bird and then today he was
doing good and when i went to
close up the pen he was died and
i was giving him vitamins and that
kind of stuff trying to get him feeling
better.

Miss Lydia
i went into the pen to
close it up and he was
limping so i thought that
he might of been trying to
fight threw the fence so i
moved him and his hen to
a different and gave him some
vitamins and i watched him for about
3 day and he was getting better and
started walking better and the i went in
to open the pen when i found him dead
the only thing i really noticed was his toe
had some blood on it but there was barely
any.

I am so sorry Pedro, It's not always easy to know what happens, You could get a necropsy done or do it yourself might get some answers, Could he have flown into something and caused his foot to bleed? I wish we could help more but I sure don't have any answers for you. How are the rest of your chickens acting?

 

[pedro24]

my other chickens are
fine they are acting like
they always do but one
of my are a little stressed
but that's about it. and there's
really nothing that he could have
cut him self on.

Did he have bumblefoot? Bumblefoot is generally caused by a staph infection and if it is not treated it can go systemic where it will turn deadly. Staph is also contagious, so you need to make sure he did/didn't have it. Check his feet over looking for any swelling with a black scab in the center.

I was thinking that too ! Staph is bad for people even.

Seriously bad for people. I was almost killed by a systemic staph infection 5 years ago. I have never been so sick in my entire life. And I got to spend 5 glorious days in the hospital with it. Party on!​

 

[pedro24]

no there was nothing on his
feet no swelling no black scab
so i dont think that it was staph
infection?
