This happened rather quickly. I inspect my chickens everyday. I went out the next day and saw a chicken having trouble walking, almost squatting. I immediately brought her to my isolation area where I treat sick chickens, before she became the target of the bullies.
I think it’s constipation because she isn’t eating much, is drinking a little, and hasn’t pooped. She has yellow stuff stuck near her vent (yes I’m about to clean it), her abdomen feels firm between her legs but not hard like an egg (not egg bound), and she “pooped” once or twice and it was just yellow liquid. So what should I do and how do I diagnose it properly and begin treatment? Pictures provided below, please ask questions and I will answer. Took her to the front flower bed to get some fresh air and some space and she’s walking around and being curious, just looking like she’s got a anchor stopping her up
so atleast that’s a good sign. Walking around, I mean. She’s very talkative, as well.
