Update, Help, Hen suddenly lethargic, laying down, not moving, DEAD, less than 2 hours later

Before you do an autopsy, does her vent seem normal? Any signs of distress there, or does it appear clean and normal?

 

[Burleigh Chick]

looks like it was a bad liver, appears to have exploded, and there was a pooling of blood where her left side of the liver was, what was left was very mushy, and fragile. There was a lot of fat on her gizzard and below her vent....






Whether it was the liver or not, something hemmoraged, and at least I know it was not a disease that could maybe affect the others, (I think)

If you don't get any replies here for your necropsy, I would start a new thread addressing this. I am no expert. We have done a couple of them ourselves and I had pictures to compare to the organs for something I was looking for. There are a lot of people on here who can probably tell you exactly what happened with your bird. Even though it's a hard thing to do, I am glad you went ahead and did this. You'll have your answers and can go from there.
