Fixed hen's prolapse, now she's having more butt problems! PICS

[MikasGirl]

I checked on her this morning, and she appeared fine, but last night when I was watching her she pooped once, but it was more like urine. It looked a lot like pee. I know this isn't normal.. I'm at school, so I won't really be able to check on her a lot today, but when I get home I will attend to her. Thank you again for all of your quick responses, I appreciate it so much.

I am thinking it was an egg. Just a hunch. She might have prolapsed trying to pass an egg with no shell. Maybe the other stuff she's passing is part of the egg--yolk, or white? When the tissue/membrane you pulled out came out, was there more blood?

 

[MikasGirl]

There wasn't any blood.. The only time there was blood was when the actual prolapse happened. Other than that, she hasn't had any bleeding.

Then I don't think you have to worry about that bit you pulled out. If it didn't bleed, then it wasn't a real part of her, right?

So, what's her status this morning?

could it be a diseased ovairy? ive read of hens expelling sick ovaries. or could she be a part time internal layer and that is some sort of egg mass shes had in her for a while thats finally coming out?

I don't have any info that might help, looks like others have given some good thoughts about the situation.

I am curious about something, though. Do you know in what month this hen was hatched?

Best wishes for you and Synergy,

Well, I haven't had any problems again.. We got her from an assortment (from McMurray) in March 2008. She's been a healthy hen up until recently. I'll go check on her and try to update.
