I was at work on a Sat,and hubs called saying he was on his way to vets 50 mins away that would be open and look at my chicken. Apparently when he went to let the girls out(at the time i had 12..now i have 20) she was in the nesting box.so he left her alone.He went out 2 other times she was still there.so he shooed her out and she fell. so he ran in the house to get a box and when he went outside the others were pecking her..as they would do.. anyhow she dies on the examining table.hubs told the vet to do an autopsy on her as we have 11 more,and they are the wifes babies.. found out she had a tumor on her spleen,and everytime she laid an egg it would bleed.her inside was full of clots. I had no idea she was sick. she was on my lap the night before,eating and drinking.Has this happened to anyone else?
