Chicken has serious rear end issues

[Hidden Chick]

I notice this morning that one of my hens back end was wet and what I thought was poopy. Turns out her vent in outside of her, she is dripping some sort of liquid and what I thought was poop stuck to her vent area appears to be attached to her. I cleaned her up and put Vaseline on her vent area (that is what some of you suggested ) and separated her from the others. It looks incredabliy sore and I did not want my rooster mounting the poor thing.

Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with her and what I should do to treat her? Should I keep her seperated from the others. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Have you done some research on prolapsed vent? It may need some help getting the inside back inside. I have not had to deal with it myself but have read a few posts on here about it.

There is some good information here about how to treat it and a pic of what it looks like.


Best wishes

Thank you Babs! That looks exactly like what I am dealing with. I took as much of the old poopy that was stuck to her vent off, and I think it was quite painful for her but I got it as clean as I could. I did not have this spay but cleansed her with warm water. I then pushed her vent back were it should be and put Perpetration H around her vent. She is now resting in a dark spare room of oue house where I can keep an eye on her. I once again am so grateful for the information as I don't know what I would do if I didn't have all you guys to help educate me.

We Thank you!

Hidden Chick.
