Sue, Is that the spleen?:confused: Cragg, you have done a good job. I also agree with @coach723 those little yellow things look like lash material. It will be interesting to see the rest.

:hugs I'm sorry for your loss. It can be hard to lose them when you've been taking special care of them. Take your time, get some good photos and we will see you tomorrow.

I still think it's the ovaries :) but I'm puzzled as to why they are like that. There's too many individual "grape-like" spheres - even looks like a few separated out upon examination, but again, I'm not an expert. I did find a few necropsy photos of kidneys - a lot would depend on the cause...

Thanks for clarifying this. Kathy, Barbara - good point. I did not realize 3 birds had been lost so quickly. I do wonder if it would be beneficial for @Jspenc02 to have a sampling of the feed they use tested by their state lab...

@Jspenc02 I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to share your photos with us. I'm still learning but, I do agree with the others about the fat deposits and about revisiting how and what you feed. Sometimes, even with changes in diet, some hens just simply may not be active...
