My Molly died last night at 9:12PM CST. She was 14 1/2 years old.

My sweet angel from heaven passed away after a pretty rapid decline. She did not appear in pain or distressed. She was vocal until the end.

I will never be the same after this. I have her wrapped in cloth and plastic and she's in the freezer until the ground thaws so I can give her a proper burial.

I'm so sorry for your loss
rest in peace Molly

Is it normal for a duck or chicken to have convulsions after they pass?

It's very common to occur just before and during death. I believe muscle spasms can occur just after death
