Brahma sick need help

[lilofthestars]

My poor Brahma she’s 6 1/2 years old Is not feeling well at all. First she was making a very low different clucking noise I noticed which I did post that video took me hours to figure it out but I did. I checked her feet I checked her crop. Then I cleaned her bottom off and I noticed she had a red swollen spot near her vent on the right side of it. I put her in the outside sink almost every day and wash it off with a little sprayer. But I noticed when she’s eating her vent is Vibrating that’s the only word I could think of right now, like she’s trying to use the bathroom or lay an egg. I did check her she’s not egg bound. And yesterday when I was cleaning her bottom off it was very very hot very warm. Yesterday she tried to stay away from the other flock which we only have four chickens total. She pants really bad during that the hot part of the day. I’ve been trying . everything to keep her cool. We live in northern Florida. I believe she has vent Greek. Because her bottom is all red and there was some white stuff there. Also I believe all the chickens have poultry pox. Call Lee my poor chickens I try so hard to take good care of them.I’ve had a lot of great people help me I really appreciate them.I studied and found out that I had to soak her in Epson salts for about 10 minutes which she loved. She was falling asleep kind of packing very lightly at my arm. Then I had to go to the store and get some fungus medicine. It said to use it like for athletes foot so that’s what I did and I put that on her bottom. I was told from the people here that poultry pox you really can’t do anything for them. Unless it’s so hard near an area you can put some lubrication there to help them feel better most of it is on their little beaks. I was almost tempted to take her in and put her in a cage and my laundry room so she would be out of the heat. But then I hate to take her away from the flock I know that can cause a problem. I’ve tried so many different things to help them with the heat of course. Now it’s saying I can’t give her watermelon especially to give them runny stools because of her problem with her vent. If anybody has any other advice please let me know I’d greatly appreciate it

No I felt her stomach again and unfortunately she’s bony she used to be heavy she’s losing a lot of weight and I see she’s eating. And yes I wormed her and I also checked her for mites and lice. Next to her vent she had a big red swollen spot. Been soaking it in Epson salts I miss yesterday and putting athletes foot cream on it and they actually got smaller and they’re not red anymore thank goodness for that. My husband said chickens don’t last forever I said I understand that but I don’t want her to suffer.

I went out early this morning and felt her crap and I don’t know what I was feeling but it’s not large there seems to be a couple small little lumps there and I believe they’re abdomen Is below their crop on the bottom of the chicken is that correct? But I felt everywhere I don’t see any large lumps just near her vent was a large one and it was all red and I’ve been soaking in Epson salts and put athletes foot medication on it and that seems to be getting smaller and less red.But I notice even in the cool of the morning she pants a little bit not as bad but she is panting. I took a few pictures even ever feet. I really appreciate your help. I just feel something is definitely wrong can’t figure it out I even added a good vitamins to her water. and the food and probiotics. I’m thinking of putting some oregano in the water I know a lot of chicken keepers do that. But again thank you so much for your help

So her crop was almost empty? The abdomen is below the vent in between the legs, I just want to make sure she doesn't have ascites. You may also want to try and give her some Nutri-Drench. Could you get a pic of the red spot near her vent?

The bumps by her vents are actually getting better they’re not red anymore thank goodness. And it looks like she may be getting better. I’ve been giving her probiotics, I just started giving her flaxseeds, vitamins. And I stop giving them scratch for right now.? She’s actually staying more with the flock. Thank you so much for trying to help I really do appreciate it I will keep you informed.

Good to hear she's improving! I would probably only give her chicken feed and vitamins.

After I told you it didn’t look red it started to get ready again so I try to take as many pictures as possible. It’s kind of hard when You’re by yourself trying to take the pictures. Thank you again for your help
