    Help! Large swollen abdomen on my new rescue hen

    Thanks so much for you replies! I have had a quick “feel” today and it’s squidgy and warm! I didn’t want to poke her too hard in case I hurt her but she didn’t seem phased by me poking her! I had 4 eggs this morning so someone hasn’t laid but I’m not sure who! She has been walking around...

    Help! Large swollen abdomen on my new rescue hen

    I’ve searched for local vets that deal with poultry but can’t find any close! I’m going to ring around tomorrrow! I’m hoping it’s just due to the stress of being removed from the factory, to a farm and then to us!

    Help! Large swollen abdomen on my new rescue hen

    Hi, I rescued 5 girls from a hen rescue today and when I got the girls home, I noticed that one had a rather swollen back end! Does anyone know what this could be!? I am totally stumped as I am a first time chicken owner! Any advice would be great! Thanks!
