Hi there. I did a search for 'necropsy' to try and find the answer to my question, but so many of them talked about pictures within, I couldn't bring myself to click on the threads. So I'm sorry if I'm asking something that's already been asked
One of our favorite hen was found suddenly dead this evening. This is my first loss that wasn't to heat or predator so I'm a little stunned. I know I've read somewhere before that states offer free or low cost necropsy services thru their extension programs, etc. but I can't remember where I read this info. I should get a necropsy, right? Can you help me find how to access this service? I'm in MO. Is this something that I just drop the chicken off at the vet or do I need to drive the chicken to the state capitol? Is it okay to freeze her or do I only want to refridgerate her? TIA
