@rebrascora it's amazing how much they can endure, isn't it? I've seen that way too much, but thankfully, not in some time now. Good illustration in your video. Folks need to see that and realize it's nothing they did or did not do.

Yes and it was an ovarian tumor. We had to put her down. They said they can grow so fast and there’s no way she would have survived. I was hysterical

All the best, keep us updated. Did you get her to the vet? What did he say?

Sorry for your loss
And thanks for the update. It's always valuable to learn from other people's experiences with chicken diseases.

I'm so sorry but hopefully you can draw comfort from the fact there was nothing you could have done to prevent it and she is no longer suffering.

Great information here thank you all

Sorry for your losses.

I too am feeding old ladies they gave us good eggs while they were able and now they can rest and allow the new ones to do the hard stuff.

I'm sorry to hear that. You did such a great job caring for her and you should be proud in the knowledge that you did your best to keep her happy and healthy.
