Hello, one of my hens recently passed away. I noticed that she was acting a bit strange, like she wouldn’t move much, she would isolate herself from the others, she lost her appetite and would no longer be fazed by mealworms. When I checked her out I realised her bottom what larger than usual and hard. During this time she was also panting and her bottom was contracting. I thought she was egg bound so I prepared her a warm bath of Epsom salt, however while doing so she died. We open her vent to see why she had died and all we saw was a lot of yellowish-whitish liquid. The tissue inside her was very bumpy and spotty. There was no egg inside her. I have no idea what was the cause of her death. I looked everywhere online but nothing seems to match her symptoms.
I have attached a picture of what it looked inside her vent.
If anyone knows what she has and why she died would be great. I just I want to know the cause to be able to move on.
Thank you for your time.
