This the blue skin and swollen back side. At first I thought it was blood pooling under the skin because she was not bled out. But when I cut there was no blood at all, just feces. The tail end is on the bottom of this picture and what is the place of the cloaca is on the left side of the loop...

This is where I saw the blue skin. I thought it was blood pooling after sge was gone, because she was not bled out. But when I cut it, there was no blood. It was feces under the skin.

No she was already not laying eggs for a while. She was from the older flock.

So I found a few interesting stuff inside. The first one was the unbearable rotting smell. I am not sensitive to poop smells on a regular day but I had to wear a gas mask it was that bad. The second was the poop under the skin around the tail end and it was definitely swollen. On the picture it...

I sure will. I had a hen last year that died from salpingitis. I have pictures of her insides and several fist size lash eggs. It’s just those pictures look so severe, I didn’t want to post them anywhere. I have them in a thread here somewhere. If this hen is the same, I know I will have more. I...

She couldn’t sleep she was crying all evening and then she started to get louder, making the same sounds when she was trying to poop. She laid on her side but could not get comfortable. I was considering giving her my dog’s pain med but then she started to struggle, I saw she could not lift her...

I have not posted for 5 weeks so I thought I would update you on Explorer’s progress. She was doing well in her flock until this week. The cloaca issue never resolved completely. She needed regular cleaning. The skin outside healed very well, but the stuff getting stuck on it made it inflamed...

She is getting layer pellets and she is free ranging. I giver her yogurt in the morning and evening.

I gave her a break. Last night when I brought her in to check in the bathroom, she was shaking scared and vocalizing, she didn't want me to touch her on the back. I figure she was expecting me to poke and prod and it hurts with every spot I injure and bleed. So I just did the absolute minimum...

I have the safeguard in the green box. How much do I give? Into the butt?

Sorry I know this is a stupid question. Do I feed this? Or put it on the back side?

Where do I get that?

Is there such a thing as a pasty butt in grown up hen? That’s what she looks like to me when I bring her inside in the evening. Dirty with stuff inside that I have to scrape out.

I managed to remove the last pieces on the outside. The inside is a tough spot because I can’t get to it easily. Every time I try it just starts to bleed. I will let her heal a bit and see if they will fall off over time. There is preparation h on it now so it stops the bleeding and covers the...

She had 4 normal poops overnight so I am confident she is not plugged anymore. I need to see an egg now to know that part works too. If she is not laying anymore that’s fine too.

This one is from this evening. We are still continuing the preparation h and the docusate sodium because when she poops she can’t cut and it just stays on her or hangs out. I think it’s better to keep the stool softer until she heals inside. That part is hard to do because I can’t see it all...

I was hoping you were wrong. I hate to hurt my animals in the name of learning. I always try to help, they don’t always survive and I am learning to know when not to try, when it’s better to eurhanize to stop the suffering. I can tell the difference when she is vocalizing because she is...

I stuck my finger inside to check and it was empty. I was feeling for an egg actually just in case she was also egg bound.

I will watc No the second picture was taken immediately after she pooped. I was so shocked lol. I know it’s not nice to look at. I cleaned her up so I could put a barrier ointment on the wound.

She is getting coconut oil, greek yogurt and docusate stool softener. She got one docusate sodium after lunch. I think that made a huge difference today. I expected that poop to be a hard ball of urate but it wasn’t that. So it must have been a fly strike and the injury got her plugged. I am...
