I went out to take care of my girls and roo yesterday and noticed that one of my red sex link hens had poop stck to her bum. I have never seen this on them before and am terrified of dealing with this, but will do what I have to to help her.
She seemed fine yesterday otherwise.
We did just get over a foot of snow, so I am going to have to make my way out to her in a bit to get a kennel for her to come in our house with us.
She has been eating layer pellets and black oil sunflower seeds and cracked corn. Snacks as well. Fresh water as well.
I had just gave the pen a big cleaning too 2 days before this happened when it was nice and they were outside while I did it.
Any thoughts??
Thank you..

Her crop is very full and yet I haven't seen her eat today, and she had segregated herself from the flock in the coop this morning.
Could it be a crop issue and not an eggbound thing... or both???? aarrgghh!
