Squatting screaming chicken

[Katie1112]

Sorry for your loss. Did you ever see any eveidence of vent pecking or abnormally large eggs which could have damaged her vent? If you are in the US, you can keep her body refrigerated in a cooler and send or take it to your state vet to get a necropsy. She could have had cancer or some other reason for her death. Here is a link to most state vets to contact:

Thank you. I just want to learn so maybe next time I can prevent this. I had no idea you could do that, thanks for letting me know! Also I don't think she was being pecked and no eggs seemed larger than normal.
