Took more photos today. She still seems the same. Very small vent, can only just get my finger in. See seems to struggle pooping. Definitely no egg in there. I’d say only two fingers side by side between pelvic bone. I keep putting Vaseline on her vent to help her poop. Im just worried she will...
She is probably the size of an ex batt hen. I did feel inside her and there is no egg inside just poop but I am concerned she can’t pass it fully. I will keep soaking her and lubicating her vent.
I will take another photo tomorrow of her vent and upload it.
Thank you.
Excuse the photo. I popped her in the shower to dry her off after her Epsom salt bath and gave her some mealworm treats. I must also add that she dribbles a clear/whiteish fluid out of her vent. When she does poop falling her soak, they are only small ones.
