4 legged chick Clover

Yeah and she wasn’t even under full anesthesia so it wouldn’t have worked out anyway. Sucks though. One less thing to worry about.
Abdominal surgery is possible for chickens, but very very high risk! Longer anesthetic times are the problem, so hardly ever done. Specialty avian practices, positive pressure ventilation, tricky.

I was going to just ask if she could remove her uterus but I had no idea if that was possible.
They can't. The uterus is the shelling gland.
Might be able to remove ovary, but I doubt it.
Best bet to stop laying is an implant to quell hormone production and thus ova growth and release.

The anatomy and process is explained in this excellent video, which is worth watching regardless:
