I'll keep doing that then thank you!

I got her age wrong sorry she's 4 this year not five haha, she's been quite a good egger but usually they're smaller than the other hens. Her poo is smelling quite stinky at the moment but I never know if it's a normal stink or unusual stink

Thank you for the advice! Is there a good dewormer you recommend? And Do you have any idea what the white "leaking" is coming from her vent? Do you think it is vent gleet?

She'll be 5 this year, she usually lays quite fragile eggshells so I do have oyster shells available, last dewormed over a year ago so they're probably due a deworm, feeding layers pellets and chicken scratch with vegetable treats every other day or so, I've cut down on the corn since seeing...

Hello all! Recently I've noticed my hen has a runny vent, I at first thought it was just a dirty bottom so I cleaned it up and trimmed her feathers but every day it keeps happening so I assume it's more than just that. I don't know if it is vent gleet but I am treating it as such. I will attach...

Thank you for all the advice :> she's doing much better today and her crop was completely empty this morning! She laid a lovely egg and is back to her normal chickeny self haha

Very nice! I'm glad you were able to help your hen :) it's the end of the day now where I live and as of right now my hen is acting as right as rain but I still think there is a bit of a blockage in her crop if I feel it (feels pointy like something is in there but idk how it's exactly supposed...

Yeah haha I think the same about the egg, and just as I was typing the last message she led down for a sleep, but I'm keeping an eye on her. I will continue to work her crop throughout the day and let's hope it's better by tomorrow, if not I heard papaya extract can be good for impacted crops...

Her crop was hard like a golf ball size this morning so I think it's definitely impaction. I've given her some oil, water and a massage to try and get it all moving, I haven't fed her yet but when her crop feels more promising I'll give her some yoghurt and easy to digest foods. She did a...

Also I just went to get the eggs in and found one with blood on it. Idk if it's her egg or not (all of the girls eggs look the same at the moment), chances are it probably is, but poor lil girl must be struggling to push them out if she's not feeling too well

Thank you for the advice, I've just done my first oil and water syringing of the day and fingers crossed things start moving. It's definitely a lot better than yesterday, since she's moving around a lot more but the lil gal still isn't drinking by herself 😩

So it's definitely an impacted crop. I woke up this morning and checked in her, felt her crop and it's like a hard golf ball and it's gone quite hot. However she's not drinking that much which is concerning me considering she needs water to help break it up. I'll continue to give her oil and...

I think she might have an impacted crop idk if feeding her is a good idea,,

if you check my other threads it'll describe more of her behaviours today, but the one I'm most concerned about is that she's not drinking willingly. Like usually I can hold up the waters and my chickens will run over to it and drink, but this hen hasn't been drinking today, and I've been trying...

I will do that tomorrow morning :) Her breathing is fine, maybe she got a bit hotter today bc of the weather, the purring noise is linked in the next video and her comb and wattles are bright red :) I do think maybe she could've just been a bit exhausted from trying to push out an egg this...

Yeah that type of purring :) she did it mostly when she was sat on my lap bc she was just happy to sit there, but she did it a few times randomly

Oh also she keeps purring and her wings are a bit droopier than usual, she isn't pale and still looks around at a lot

No I can't smell anything

Does anyone have an idea about what's actually happening to my hen rn though, dark green watery poop, seems like she has mental energy but lies down whenever I'm not around, crop felt hard so I massaged it and now it's squishier but not draining, she wont drink much, and I don't think she's egg...
