Thank you all. I am suprised to hear that Davis would do a free necropsy since my local ag agent in Eureka (the far north coast) seemed to indicate otherwise. Maybe he was refering to the cost of expediated shipping. I think I was somewhat in shock and grief stricken when I found my second hen. I briefly considered trying to squeeze her into our tiny freezer on the chance of getting a necropsy but I knew that would compound my partner's shock. Although logically I knew it might be a good idea, I couldn't bring myself to cut her open myself. I wouldn't know what I was looking at and my partner would totally flip out to find me cutting into our beloved pet. I ended up burying her.
Of course there is the guilt of not doing enough to protect them from whatever it was that killed them. I am trying to move past that. I have a new resolve. I appreciate this site and all the wonderful people who participate in it.
