HELP!!!!!!! Bump on hens butt!!

[Lavender18]

My hen has a weird bump on her butt, and idk what to do!! She has labored breathing and a popping noise when she takes a breath. I don’t know what to do and I feel so bad that she could be in pain... PLEASE help me!!! :,(

her poop is pretty much all watery stuff... she ate a LOT of blueberries (probably 20) which is all that she ate today except for like 3 noodles of Mac n cheese... those are the only 2 things that she seemed interested in. She scarfed down the blueberries but not so much the Mac n cheese... please help me!!!

It looks like it might be a prolapsed vent.

It does look like a prolapsed vent, Wash the mass with warm water and a gentle antiseptic. Lubricate it with medicated Vaseline or mastitis ointment. Then push the mass very gently back into the vent. I would also separate her from any other chickens. You can also call a vet and see what they say to do I'm not saying you have to take her, but maybe get some professional advice. I hope she gets better

Vaseliene can be found anywhere just make sure it has NO painkillers in it. Coconut oil can also be used in a pinch.

I think most stores sell it but I'm pretty sure Walmart, target, and walgreens all sell it you could call to make sure, now the mastitas ointment would be at stores like Tractor Supply or Rural king, you can also order it online. Again i would call the store first so you don't go for nothing.
