So more bad news from me. I lost another. That's 4 birds in 6 days. Three teenage ones and Frannie. This last one was also necropsied. I'll put some pictures and if you want to look please do. I was with this one when she went. I'm thinking it's what happened to other 2 before Frannie. Once people look at the pictures and give opinions (if you would) I'll say what we came up with. It feels like throwing darts.
She was basically seizing when she died. She would stiffen with her legs out behind her and neck pulled back. When she relaxed her head would twitch. She did that a few times and died.
Some pictures have a foggy spot, my phone was is a plastic bag. So she was on the thinner side. Her crop was empty but she died in the morning so that was normal. Had not started laying eggs. Didn't look close to starting.

Really turquoise colored poop.

First hint of problem.

Extreamly green gallbladder. The spots on the intestines are from where they were touching the gallbaldder.

Not the best picture but I was helping, videoing, and trying to get stills.
The intestines were opened where they were stained and it was only on the outside.

Gizzard was normal and had lots of grit in.

More turquoise poop and her liver was also stained green.

Lots of green fluid from her gallbaldder! Really green!

All other organs looked fine. Heart was good and the kidneys were right size and color. Lungs were clear.
So turquoise poop and super green gallbladder. Thoughts anyone?

The cockerels I starve over night have gallbladders with green green bile like that. I think @casportpony needs to look at the pictures
 
Just a few hours. I had to pack her up and drive her to a friends.

With her actions before death we are thinking poisoning of some sort. All the birds were acting normal running around the day before. Roosting and being chickens at bed check. NOTHING that made me think I would be losing any.
3 different ages but close in age.
3 different breeds.
3 different sources.
