Lump Hanging behind roosters ear? What is it ??

However, if something does happen and he dies or you decide to put him down, make sure that you refrigerate or freeze his body so a necropsy can be done

For a necropsy, the carcass needs to be refrigerated, NOT frozen.

I imagine in Australia, the potentially vast distance to the nearest state agricultural or veterinary diagnostics lab may be a problem depending upon where the OP is located.

Thanks for the clarification. I forgot that frozen doesn't work for professional necropsy. I've heard of people doing for at home ones though.

Hopefully they can find one close. I would think each province would have one like our states do.
