Dierdre Ann Barlow Rashied Dead

 

so sad to hear that you lost a hen.  About 6 months ago, I lost a cockerel. His crow changed pitch but he looked the picture of health. My hubby was shutting them in for the night 10pm ish and he was very cold and stiff, very unresponsive. He got wet as it had been heavy rain and he hadn't gone under cover of run. He brought him inside and worked on him for about 30 minutes too but died infront of the fire 

I don't know whether to suggest autopsy. We didn't as all our others remained healthy. My boy was only a year old but could have been his heart or something

Hope someone else can advise on cocci x

Thanks for the replies

joyfull she was less than a year old and what a great bird she was , im defo getting another two next year ( one blue and one white)great egg layer she was and they look strange and are a good talking point with neighbours and friends that visit for eggs.

its a sad loss but one we back garden poultry keepers have to deal with
