I recently lost a 1 1/2 yr old leghorn. she had had vent discharge for a long time which I could never get cleared up. when I found her, she had blood on her backend. I brought her in and I noticed a large lump in her abdomen. I thought she was egg bound. she passed away during the night. her belly was really extended so I cut it open starting at the vent and went downward ad this huge lump just popped out. I sliced it open. here are some pictures. I'm hoping someone can tell what I found. A tumor? the one side had a hole in it so I'm assuming that's where the blood came from...
