    Temp Trouble

    My poor hen is sick, I don't know what it is

    My hen of 4yrs has fallen ill, my guess is she has a tumor. Her stomach is extremely swollen and now she is vomiting a gross yellow liquid. I fear it's too late to do anything, but if anyone has any advice I would gladly take it.
