We lost our hen today. She was gasping for breath and really suffering so I had to put her down. I had gotten three doses of the antibiotic in her and she hadn't perked up, so I assume whatever she had I found too late or it was just incurable. At least she's not suffering anymore. I would like to send her off for a necropsy, but DH doesn't think it's necessary and doesn't want to spend the money since no one else is sick right now. It sounds morbid, but I might open her up myself to see if I can find what was going on in her. Thoughts??

An at home necropsy might reveal something if it's obvious. I say go for it.
