Sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is to lose them. It looks like your hen might also have had some type of cancer.
 
thank you for sharing this with us. I'm so sorry for your loss. bless her heart it does look like some sort of cancer. you defiantly did the right thing by putting her out of her miseries. again I'm so sorry.
