Healthy but dead graphic

[Cosima]

last night I check on my chicken and a chicken that was fine two hours ago was dead. I checked her for wound and there was nothing not even blood and if she did have her legs stretched out behind her she could have been alive. i will have to open her up but i am dreading it. I am kind of freaked out but I had a dream when all the rabbits I had died for no reason and there was nothing wrong and even though a rabbit didn’t died but a chicken did. I am worried.

If you don’t want to see chicken insides don’t scroll down























This everything that I thought was worth showing

this is the two things that I found on the outside of the chicken.

this is the liver

these are eggs that is find really weird because my chicken only started laying eggs at 8 months by the lest and she is only 7 months

this is the rest of the organs

and this is her

this is a rabbit forum, not a chicken one. So... I'll do my best.

bundle of yolks looks normal, the gall bladder is very big, the rest looks pretty normal. sometimes they die for no apparent reason

Okay

Try Back Yard Chickens. This is a rabbit forum.

Try Back Yard Chickens. This is a rabbit forum.

Backyard Chickens is an excellent resource. And so if the poultry section on Homesteading Today. But because many members raise other animals besides rabbits, we do have a forum for Other Animals and Pet Rabbits. I think, however, due to the graphic pictures, that Cosima posted responsibly.

Cosima, the pictures look pretty normal to me. The liver seems very dark, but that might be the effect of the light and I don't think it is a symptom of a problem. I would not be unduly alarmed unless you lose more chickens in a similar way.

okay. chances are its only a one time thing so I’m not really worried anymore.
