20week old hen, lethargic

Oh, I am very sorry for your loss. If you are up to it, I would either do a home necropsy, or contact your state vet lab for a more professional one. She may have had a reproductive disorder or something like fatty liver disease. With fatty liver disease, they have a ton of extra fat lining the body and organs, and usually a blood clot on the liver can be seen. It can be hard to know. I can provide a video to help you identify her abdominal organs if interested. You are welcome to post pictures of the organs. Here is a list of state vets to contact for a necropsy:

Thank you. I would like to do a home necropolis. This is very helpful.

Take pictures of the organs if you do one to post here. The liver, intestines, and oviduct are important to see. Note if there is any yellow fluid present inside the abdomen when the abdominal wall is opened.
