jambo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hi Peggy my pied suffolk seemed absolutely fine this morning eating and drinking and laying as usual but a couple of hours ago I went out to check the girls water and food and I found her dead in the run all curled up in a ball I've got completely no idea why as it was so sudden if anyone has any ideas to why or has experienced this please let me know to put my mind at rest Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm sorry to hear that, what a shock for you . How old was she? I take she hadn't shown any signs of anything being wrong. Sometimes that's the problem, they hide illness too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi thanks for your condolences she was just 8/9 months old but at least she wasn't in any pain (well I don't think so anyway) she will be sadly missed I keep checking the other girls every 5 mins just to check their ok Thanks again James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 It happened to one of mine. You just don't know sometimes. I'm sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 So sorry to hear about Peggy. It is such a shock when it is so sudden. One of the chicks I hatched last year seemed fine in the afternoon but early evening was dead in the run, she was only a couple of months old.
