The green thing is her gallbladder. You did a very good job, especially for a first timer. The liver appears normal. Her breast muscle seems small. The eggs inside her abdomen is when the eggs go up into the abdomen from reverse peristalsis, instead of passing down through the oviduct. That is called internal laying and causes salpingitis, and egg yolk peritonitis. Nothing else jumps out at me, but maybe others will notice something. I still have no clue what caused the. neurological symptoms. Thanks for posting these pictures.
Thank you. What about the cooked egg yolk looking chunks? I was reading about EYP. Could the internal laying have caused some kind of problem that let to her death? I was wondering if she wasn’t absorbing nutrients properly or something. We had a bird that did the exact same thing with her neck back in September, but she had been having crop issues and it wasn’t fully clearing so I thought maybe nutrient related then as well

Also what causes the reverse peristalsis? Is it just a freak thing?
 
They can adjust their crop in a round motion, and more so if they have something stuck in the crop, but her movement seems more like neurological or seizure activity. Internal laying is fairly common in hens over 2 years. It can progress from years leading to solid masses of lash egg material. Some can be passed in droppings, and they can sometimes get stuck.
