Agreed, I personally hate texting lol. I'm constantly being cautious on how I word things so as to not have it misunderstood, mostly because I have gone back and read things after posting them and realized that it could be perceived differently. Unfortunately social media misses the human...

I've taken carcasses there once before and I had to pay 95.00 for the testing. I don't know if they accept pictures for more of an FYI issue. This particular case doesn't appear to be more than a random unusual occurrence, so I'm not overly concerned, or I would have froze the carcass. I would...

@Wonderwend No, I have not made up my mind. I am hoping to get some plausible suggestions. After I said that it was well back of the lungs you decided to post a picture contradicting the location of the ball. The ball was located in the abdominal cavity, the heart and lungs are in the chest...

It looks real and feels real but it's just a novelty coin. Did you paint the bikini on it, or did somebody else? Oops, sorry, did not mean to offend anyone. :(

Look at the diagram you posted , from front of bird to back of bird along the backbone it goes; lungs, ovaries, kidneys, in a real bird there is an area of about 2 inches between the lungs and the kidneys, the ball was attached in the kidney area, behind the ovaries, so yes that is "well back "...

Go to the post where I first posted the picture of the mass cut in half, or to the pictures that I sent you, click on the picture and zoom in on the quarter in the picture. it's a high Def pic that should allow you to get a closeup look at the quarter. lol

I had to put something in there other than blood, guts, and gore. Lol

This is fantastic, it's like, what came first, the chicken or the egg! LOL My thoughts are that the giant purple ball was the first problem which caused other secondary problems. BTW, did anyone notice the crazy quarter I used in the one picture? LOL

Yes I agree about the hole in the crop, and I may have ruptured it prematurely when I was massaging it. But I also believe that was a result of her digestive system shutting down and not letting the contents to pass into the gizzard. I believe that was secondary to the large ball. I usually...

The heart looked completely normal, the liver looked normal too, but I didn't cut the liver open. The gall bladder looked normal also. That large ball was attached on the left side of her backbone.

Let me know if you got the pictures. Could this be the spleen? Circled with the arrow

I'm not sure if a chicken even has a spleen

A few weeks ago I had a ccl hen die from a lash egg, she was sick for more than a week, and when I cut her open her entire body was overrun with infection and had a horrible smell inside, this bird seemed normal, smellwise, so I don't believe that this was any type of infection, it seems to have...

That's it for pictures, the large ball was attached to the backbone near the egg cell sac, it possibly could have been one of her kidneys. I had six bcm hens and I believe this one had never laid an egg. I believe her age to be 8-10 months. She had never shown any signs of illness until the day...

I had a different hen die from a lash egg, this was completely different.

By all means, I was hoping someone of that caliber would be seeing this thread.

Here's a picture of the mass cut in half, appears to be mostly blood. The quarter is for size comparison..

I noticed today that one of my bcm's was lethargic and sitting in a corner of the coop. When I picked her up she immediately started discharging the contents of her crop, it was runny and appeared to be just liquid mixed with food. I examined her crop for possible impaction, her crop was fairly...
