One of my fathers hens isn't looking so good.
We thought maybe her vent was blocked and went out to the run to try and see what was going on.
There was a lot of green (maybe from vegetable scraps?) poop stuck to her feathers, but we couldn't tell if the vent was actually closed. Anyway what we did see is that she was bald below the vent and it looked very red and swollen.
We cleared away the gunk as best we could and put some Vaseline on for good measure. vent is now clear for sure.
While we were taking care of the vent side, I noticed a few times that liquid was dripping out of her mouth.... chicken equivalent of throw up?
anyway we tried to get a picture.. its attached below. Any advice is welcome!
