I have been gone all day, with our son, skiing. Talked with my husband and he said he had one chicken in the 'hospital' in our living room (a cage with food and water), because he thought she was acting strange.
Fast forward to coming home, and getting everything settled like you do when you have been gone all day....and finally had a minute to look at the chook and she was gone. I took her out of the cage and my son just cried and cried over her. So sad.
I took her outside so I could look at her closely in the bright sunlight and she had a bad prolapse and some infected looking goop coming out of her vent. Poor thing! She never acted sick until today--so of course I immediately went back to the coop to check alllll their butts and the rest seem fine--clean and pink and they didn't like me checking them out!
Sad. We have had good luck with our flock--this is only the second bird we have lost since we started this chicken journey.......
i think chickens go to heaven, don't you?
