Paralyzed Hen?

[Wyorp Rock]

On Saturday morning found a 3 year old hen on the ground under the roosts. Vaccinated for Mark’s as a chick (at least I paid for Mareks vax). Been hand feeding, cooked egg yolk with Vit.B & water with added Hen Boost. Still no improvement!

Has anyone experienced anything else that causes this? She feels slightly underweight but otherwise healthy!

Necropsy Findings on Paralyzed Hen:

A 3-year-old hen, reproductive carcinoma and carcinomatosis
1. Ovary and oviduct: Carcinoma
2. Peritoneum: Carcinomatosis
3. Peritoneum: Multifocal caseonecrotic peritonitis and ectopic egg

Thank goodness it was not a virus…but poor girl!
Something new to help others when faced with a paralyzed hen!

I'm sorry about your hen.

Thank you for posting the results of the necropsy findings. Sad indeed, but not something I would be surprised to read for a 3year old hen with those symptoms.
I do hope your thread will help others.
