You need to clean off the blood and post pictures of her vent.

Yes I'm in Modesto. I cleaned her up as well as I could. Since it's my friends house she doesn't have all I need. I put Greek yogurt out with a little feed and ACV on water . This is the best pic I could get.

the first picture is much better. Kathy you think this can be spread from meto my flock at home? I have babies hatching right now and two brood's. I am very close with my flock! I want to help this poor lady but not danger my coops. I'm definitely interested in sending her in if she pass's. She's getting very lethargic!!! Will not drink or eat anything !!! Thank you once again Kathy you have saved me before

Quote: Turlock is only 20 minutes from you. It's a no-brainer, take the deceased hens there NOW! By end of day today they will have a preliminary report ready. That is the only way you'll know if it's something contagious. Stop what you're doing, pack up the deceased and take them to the lab.

When did the other hens die? Silly me, I just assumed it was in the last 24 hours.

She's still alive. The other two that had the same thing died about a month ago. Unfortunately I'm at friend/ boss's house with a dementia patient. So I can't leave. If she pass's I will take her for sure! I'm going to try to get some water down her. Should I use sugar water maybe? If this was my flock in a heart beat I would do Anything and buy anything!! My heart breaks for her. No ideas? Your a wise woman!!

Quote: Is she pooping? If so, what does her poop look like? So many things can cause that type of bleeding that I'd hate to make a guess. Would be best to get 60 ml of fluids into her, but you would have to tube it because syringing that much is too dangerous. Can you get supplies to tube? Catheter or aquarium airline and syringe? If so, I can teach you how to do it.

I doubt it's an egg, but it could be... you can rule out stuck egg by gently inserting a finger in her vent about 1/2" to 1". These pictures should help:

You could also treat for capillary worms with Safeguard for goats at 0.23ml per pound for 5 days, and you could also treat for coccidiosis with Corid.
