So today we let our chickens out and they eere all good. We went to round them up and my rooster was found all contorted on the ground( still alive) doing the cropy flop. I picked him up and was able to get him to calm down in my lap. He was very rigid and stiff when I first got to him....like he was in fight or flight and chose fight. He was transferred into a kennel and brought into the house. About 2 hours later he had what I am assuming is a seizure and died. There were no obvious injuries, no leaking fluids or anything else. I am assuming he tried to fly somewhere and hit a tree....any other ideas??
I know i live in a zoo...but we made sure none of he cats and dogs were loose and like i said no obvious injury. I am just looking to prevent something like this from happenjng again. We are building a new coop this summer and will hopefully have "flight" pens available by fall.
