We have had some more mysterious chicken deaths. The most recent is one of the Marans that came to us in the early spring..February... She was a good size hen, just went off one day, then was down the next, dead the next. I had just wormed with Piperazine, and wondered if she had a large worm load and so asked the hubby to do a small autopsy... What we found was amazing amounts of fat everywhere. She probably had a layer an inch thick throughout her whole abdomen...is this a disease?
I have no idea how old she was...was told 2..but she could have been as old as the hills for all i know..
any thoughts here...i don't even know where to start looking
