I am so sorry. It is obvious that you did everything you could and from the looks of it, there was bothing short of a chance at surgery that would have helped her. Poor girl.

Holy moly. Well she's pain free now

Wow. Sounds like you did the best you could, but from the looks of things, only a miracle could have saved her. Poor girl.

So sorry for the loss of your hen.

Those pictures are unbelieveable. Now how many actual egg sacks would be in a normal laying hen? Only one? Or several?
