Thank you both for your input, that's extremely helpful! Tonight I'll take some time to look over the resources you shared, too. When she was alive I had also suspected thrush and was waiting on supplies to treat it to arrive in the mail, but she died the day before and it looks like that was...

Any insight from people with more chicken anatomy knowledge? Best guess from the research I've been doing is maybe some combo of fatty liver disease and ascites? I know the amount of fat and the green fluid are both abnormal but don't know if there's anything off about the rest of the organs...

Exactly :( Friday evening death, lab is a few hours away and only open M-F, and I work M-F...that's why I opted to do my first at home necropsy. Total amateur hack job and I was not prepared (no supplies other than an old box cutter) so I don't know just how helpful the pictures will be, but I'm...

Thanks, I think I'll do a new post with a warning in the title so no one accidentally stumbles upon the pictures. And yeah, it was in her abdominal cavity. I do wish now that I had taken her for a real necropsy (although it would be several days before I could do so...), the outcome was way more...

Well, this girl ended up dying today. I attempted a necropsy and took some pictures and video; if anyone with more experience is up to helping me figure out what was going on, I'd greatly appreciate it. The one thing that I definitely, definitely know was abnormal was that she was filled with...

Thank you for all this great info. No one has had any face scabs... the most significant thing that happened this summer was a wave of sour crop. She was not one of the ones that had it but it makes me wonder if thrush is the most likely culprit for the white patches. I'm dumbfounded by the...

I tried wiping at the white patches in the corners of her mouth to see if they were oozing or shedding and they are not.

I'm not sure, it's a picture of her foot and I've tried uploading it multiple times and keep getting this error

Her breath smells normal and her crop seems to be all normal as well. It's her lower abdomen that feels enlarged. She hasn't laid in a few days but with shorter days and molting right around the corner, many of my girls haven't. I tried to get a picture of her abdomen but it looks normal in...

Hi all, One of my hens has been panting excessively lately. I didn't think too much of it because we had a bit of a heat wave and everyone was panting more. However, it's cooled down (low 80s max) for a few days now and she's still panting more or less nonstop, often with her wings slightly...
