[ladywolfe]

do some birds just die without many signs? my roo was a barred rock we had him for about 6 months was one of the first we got he really didn't show any signs until today he stood alone and when i picked him up i couldn't hear any wheezing or anything respitory but he just didn't act right. He's been fine til now. went to grandma's today got back and found him layed out like he fell over dead. Don't understand?

any suggestions?

Thanks

Oh, that is so sad. I have heard of this happening before. Hopefully someone can give some kind of information to you on this.

Yes they can die suddenly without any warning signs.

I had a RIR hen have a heart attack and die in my arms.

Oh! I am so sorry. Maybe it was some sort of internal defect. You must be so sad.

I am sorry to hear about your roo. There could have been a number of things that it could have been with no symptoms. My friend had this problem and it turned out to be cocci. She never had one symptom show up, they found it while doing a necropsy.
