The skin is still covering, no puncture or fluid. All seems to be internal.
I'll try to get a picture soon, she seems to be doing fine, walking around with the others and foraging well. I'll look for anything else that could give a clue!
Hey there,
Looked at one of my chickens today and she had a large, soft area below her vent. Seems like it is something from inside that has softened up and is hanging.
Gave her an Epsom salt bath and wiped her down, no behavioral oddities.
What does she have, and should I be concerned?
Thanks! We did the Epsom Salt bath. After that, the prolapse had gone back in by itself. We applied the cream, and she seems to be doing much better. We will keep checking on her periodically.
Here is one of my girls. I noticed today that she is struggling to poop, and is squatting down attempting to but only leaks a small amount of liquid. There is this abscess around her vent area. What is wrong with her?
I noticed that my black austrolorp hen recently started getting an abscess below her vent. It has been there for about a week.
She also is losing her feathers below her. She is molting quite a bit. Is there something I need to do for her, and what is the issue for both of them?
I attached...
This is our Holland lop, Rowan. He is 3 years old. We got him when he was 3 months old. He loves to run around outside, in addition to being pet and held!
Hey there, we just had a chicken that got killed. Photos attached. Was it a hawk? Also, we had 8 girls, 4 went to the coop and 3 ran off. We found one under our deck. Was silent and still and we'll hidden. Will the other 2 come back if they are alive? No signs of their feathers. Can we eat her...
