Tumor or abscess or what?? Hen isn't happy.

I'm in Texas outside of Houston.

It's cold some days, warm others, we don't really have a lot of flies though. I could definitely have been a predator as my dog has caught a hawk attacking a hen one day. Could of been this one.

She deteriorated pretty rapidly, stiffened up and wouldn't respond to much of anything.. her weight was noticeably lighter than her friends of the same breed so I felt the bet course of action was to cull her.

I know that was a difficult decision, but probably the right one for her and the rest of your flock.

Sorry for your loss.

Ericstac, I'm sorry for your loss, but that was probably good to put her out of her misery.
