Internal layer? Sleepy hen

The cysts seem to be attached. I wish I had taken a photo.

Sounds like it was cancer.

Impacted gizzard.

would an impacted gizzard cause all the nodules in the abdomen over (but not in) the intestines?

If it looked like this it was cancer.

She was six months old, right? Sort of young for cancer, I think.

That is what it looked like! And yes, she was only 6 months old. What kind of cancer is this? Thank you so much for the photo.

That picture was from a hen of mine that I think had oviduct cancer and fatty liver disease.

I have a blue laced red wyndotte that us presenting with what I am afraid is egg bound syndrome. She is about 6 months and I'm not sure if she has laid yet. It sound similar but I would like to research or have any suggestions. New to byc but gave raised poultry for years. I don't see many problems but thought I might try this site for brain storming.

Welcome to BYC! You can check for an egg by gently inserting your finger about an inch into her vent.
