Hello,
Im new here. I have 4 hens. Today I noticed 1 of my hens had alot of poop all over her bum, so i took her inside for a warm epsom salt bum bath- i cleaned off the poop but noticed her bum below her vent was swollen and soft squishy! She has been eating and behaving like normal, although no one has laid an egg in a week?? She is about 5 yrs old now, my husband does not not want a vet bill for a chicken! Not sure what to do??
