Why did this chick suddenly die?
Our take
What a cluck-tastrophe! Losing a young chick is always a heart-wrenching experience, especially when it happens so suddenly and unexpectedly. In this case, a two-week-old Wyandotte chick seemed to be perfectly fine, sleeping peacefully before waking up to grab a bite. However, shortly after, it experienced dizziness and sadly passed away, leaving its owner bewildered and searching for answers. It’s not uncommon for young chicks to face health challenges, and sometimes, these issues can arise without warning. In this post, we'll explore potential reasons behind this sudden demise, aiming to shed light on the mysteries of our feathered friends and perhaps offer some comfort to fellow chicken enthusiasts grappling with similar experiences. Let’s dive into the clucking details!
It was sleeping, woke up, went to eat, got dizzy, then passed. Happened at night, I found it in the same pose as seen at the end of the video.
It was a 2 week old wyandotte chick.

- Help! How'd my chicken die like this? (NSFW, no gore/blood, dead chicken depicted)I went outside today to find my poor, beloved hen Honey dead today. She was an old hen who definitely developed a few health issues in her old age, but I'm stunned in how I found her body. I am almost certain she died of some natural cause or possibly an illness I didn't notice, but in all my years of chicken rearing I've never seen a death pose like this. Does anyone know how this position could have happened and how it could have related to her demise? I'm heartbroken. I'll always remember you, Honey; my sweet old lady. Rest in peace, sweetest bird. submitted by /u/Wr0ngNum83r-TryAga1n [link] [comments]
- Woke up to one of my girls deadThis was Melly (named after a formel which is a female hawk because she looked like a hawk.) I woke up this morning to check on the girls and Melly was dead out of nowhere. She was 11 months old, laid a perfect blue egg Wednesday for us, and today shes gone. We're pretty upset about it but I'm most concerned to why this happened. We have 7 others in our flock now and all seem happy and healthy just as Melly did yesterday. Any ideas? submitted by /u/burkechrs1 [link] [comments]
