I was just reading your new thread where you took your hen to the vet who told you she had cancer. I’m sorry for your loss. Did the vet open her abdomen or do a necropsy? Here is your newer thread:

No they didn't. There was no need I didn't think. The Dr. didn't offer either.
I live in a residential neighborhood and I have 7 hens for personal use.
Is there a specific reason to do that? Dr Barton may have later but I don't know. He did have an intern from Western there to observe and I wouldn't have objected.
