What is this?

My guess would be ovarian cysts, but I have never seen anything like that! (I am assuming the hen died from that) So it might be ovarian cysts. Also, sorry about the loss of your hen!
 
I had never heard of this and looked it up as you suggested. Many of her symptoms were similar, however there were no yolks anywhere to be found! There was no infection I could see or smell either. When I cut the hen open there was a huge gush of the same liquid that the bubbles contained, which resembled a slightly yellow tinted water. So my mystery continues, but thanks so much for your assistance.
 
It was *not* internal laying. Where in the body where they? Where they right there when you opened her?

You in your post showed that you don't know what it is but you are absolutely shore that it isn't internal laying? Interesting....
"the old rebel" posted in 23/5/09 a post in BYC that described exactly the same situation and then it was a situation of internal laying.

I would bet that they are cysts.
