My friend took chicken to the vet. He put it to sleep (£££££), and said he thought it was infectious bronchitis. Mmmmm, not sure.

It was just a thought. They can be really poorly with worms - both ducks and hens. But to be honest, if you had an infestation you'd probably see it in their faeces.

We await photos of corpses with interest

I saw that as "faces"....

Their poop can be funny colours but as they eat a lot of greenery, corn, barley etc, I'd expected something similar, so wasn't looking to inspect it closely

Next corpse will be snapped & uploaded, barring any computer incompetence on my part

Don't know about the runners. There's some sort of duck virus thing that they can get, isn't there? Did they have their necks go all floppy?

Interesting - I had a Runner a while ago who fell out of the shed in the morning with a floppy neck and she was unable to lify her head. I slaughtered her thinking she had a back/neck injury caused by some weird sex the drake may well have been into (He's a bit if a randy sod

). Randy male and the other female were fine.
