Chicken smells

[Eggcessive]

Chickens have white urates in their poop, which is the white cap we see. Do you notice that she has more white urates than usual, or are they yellow in appearance? If she has some stuck to her vent and feathers, it can smell like urine. Is he vent area clean, or does she have any missing feathers or raw area? Can you post any pictures of what the lash egg looked like? Cutting them in two can help with telling if it is an egg or a lash egg. Chickens who have lash egg may have salpingitis, and could have those masses inside the abdomen. It also can be common to have ascites or water belly with some of the reproductive disorders.

No, she doesn’t lay much anymore tho. I did find a possible lash egg under her roost. I took her vet and they weren’t concerned, said it was an underdeveloped egg, like just to yolk formed and hardened, the vet said “kind of like a miscarriage”, and she said the urine smell is from the heated in her feces

Photos of the egg?

The vet kept the “egg”. She said she had her associate look at it too and he agreed it was an underdeveloped egg. I have video of it, how do I post that here?
What do you mean could have those masses? Masses meaning the “egg”?

Did you wash her in a tub of water .....or.....?


Did you cut the lash in half and show it to the vet, or maybe take a pic of it?


This vet should not be used to diagnose chickens.

I washed her gently with a the hose and a gloved hand.
They vet kept the “egg” but I have video, I am discouraged. Is there a way to private message?

If you have video, post it to youtube and put a link here in the thread. There is apparently a way now to load videos to this site, but I don't remember it myself.

Upload your video to YouTube and provide a link.

Is your hen acting normal? Eating/drinking, etc.?

My other two hens just found this one. I snatched it from the right away!

Here’s the one that the vet called an “undeveloped egg” from 6/29.
