    What could this be? Vent/poop issues (photo attached)

    Basically that's the question, what IS this? I've attached a photo. I'm not sure if it's vent gleet or not? Her vent looks very red like it's been irritated, I gave her a soak in epsom salts and put some canesten cream on her vent where it was inflamed. Is there anything I can feed her to help...

    Impacted crop for 4 days

    Hello all,this is the 4th day my hens had an impacted crop. I've been massaging it since I first noticed it and today I have gone out and it still hasn't gone down. She did a very gross looking poop today and I'm scared she needs operating on, is there anyone in the Bristol area who may have...

    Soft shelled egg and Impacted crop

    Hello y'all, When I went to go shut my hens in last night, One of my hens came out of the house in an "egg laying position", I thought it was weird and that she may be egg bound so I cuddled with her for a bit. She then tried to climb me and when she did she panicked a bit and a soft shelled...

    Hen has runny vent, unsure what it is

    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

    Hen has runny vent, unsure what it is

    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?

    Hen has runny vent, unsure what it is

    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...

    Hen has runny vent, unsure what it is

    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...

    Hen tipping forward while trying to poop, what is wrong. Is she constipated?

    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

    Hen tipping forward while trying to poop, what is wrong. Is she constipated?

    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...

    Hen tipping forward while trying to poop, what is wrong. Is she constipated?

    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...

    Hen tipping forward while trying to poop, what is wrong. Is she constipated?

    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...

    Concerned my hen has an impacted crop

    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

    Concerned my hen has an impacted crop

    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 😩
