I noticed our 2 year old RIR was standing funny and walking funny. She walks with her legs spread apart like she has to poop or lay an egg. She had a pasty butt also. Got her out of the pen last night and hosed off her butt. I couldn't feel anything. Put her back in the coop and noticed that her crop was huge. I thought for sure we would have a dead hen this AM, but she's still with us. Any suggestions?
 
Have you felt around her bottom, you are looking for hard or distended area, also with the crop you could try to get her to drink some veg oil , it should help to loosen things up..
 
Yes, I felt around her bottom and her bottom area was just red, I think from the poop being stuck. I couldn't feel anything, but her body seemed puffy. I don't know how to explain it. I will try the veggie oil after work. She looks like a pregnant women who waddles towards the end of the pregnancy.

Thanks
