Interesting thought!Did lightning strike near the area?
Hello. I am looking to see of anyone might have a clue to our mystery. Yesterday evening we went out to the coop to collect eggs and all 12 hens and our 1 rooster were dead in the coop. None of them in the run. They were all on one side of the coop and it was the strangest thing. No indication of a predator. They're all different ages, the oldest being 3 years and the youngest not even a year.
They had stopped laying for several months, so we added in black sunflower oil seeds, all stock sweet feed, and catfish food pellets. Within 2 days they started laying again. This was a little over a week ago. My thought initially is if it were poison, then wouldn't they be scattered through out the run and the coop?..and they all died the same afternoon... any thoughts?
It is true that HPAI can cause sudden death, but you should have noticed respiratory symptoms and some obviously sick birds before death if the cause was AI. Very highly unlikely they would have ALL died on the same day.I honestly haven’t looked too much into this, but could it be the avian flu? Sudden death is one of the “symptoms”. I also found this through google
