Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Molt and Egg Update

I am pretty sure I can add Hattie to the molting list. So far it is only her butt but there are definitely feathers missing.

I got eggs in the nest box today from Sansa and Aurora. No sign of an egg from Phyllis anywhere. If there is a nest in the yard, I can't find it.

Something is not right with Hattie

I'm going to post on the medical forum but does anyone recognize what this might be? She made a strange noise while trying to poo a little bit ago and this is what I see. I will leave it a thumbnail to not grow everyone out.

@Kris5902 i feel like you might have seen this before. Hopefully you are around tonight.

Looks like a prolapse.

Oh, no! Not Hattie!

Looks like a prolapse.

That was my first thought too, although I’ve not seen one close-up.

I found this, if it helps. Hopefully @Kris5902 and @Shadrach are able to give you some support.
