So, I got preliminary results on the necropsies of two black bantam AM hens that died within 24 hours of each other last week...both died of acute hemorrhage caused by fatty liver syndrome...anyone else have any experience with this???

Fatty Liver???

Did you speak to the vet about what causes it?  

Here is the Merck info on it:

It reads like maybe too much corn or a toxin could also be the problem.  It also suggests selenium supplementation.

I would get my feed tested.  Sorry about your birdies. :(

No, haven\'t talked to anyone yet, I was going to wait until I have \"final\" results from the histopathology before I called down there...
Thanks! :)
