Help chicken with poopy bottom.

[Caleb1534]

Hello y'all. So maybe two weeks ago one of my seramas was making strange squaking noises. And when I checked her out it looked like she had a brown ball of poop stuck to her bottom the size of a dime if it was a ball. After that I came out most nights with a glove to apply warm mineral oil and gently squeeze and pick at it. And after a week or so I started soaking her in hot water, and then picked and squeezed again. Through all this I managed to get some off but now I'm not making any progress. If y'all have any tips or advice I'd be happy to hear it. Thank you.
Pictures below. PS. Also she looks a little gray around the eyes and has been opening and closing her mouth frequently.

I am no expert but could it be a prolapsed vent that has gotten infected? Did you notice anything before you noticed the poop?

Hello Crs1. Thank you for responding. I didn't see it until just now. No I didn't notice anything. We just had a prolapsed vent so no I don't think it's that.

If it is a infected vent how do I fix it?

I wish I could tell you but I don’t know
maybe get some neosporin and put on it. I would think you would need to get that black off to get to clean tissue.
I know that there are people here that know a lot more than I do. Try reposting to see if the will answer
good luck

You could try running WARM water over the rear and gently scrub with Q-tip.

Hello again. So I have an update. Last night I went out to soak her. And after three minutes I picked for a bit then I pulled. And most of it came out in one big gross chunk.(A true blessing.)And she was fine.
Here are some pictures. The first one is right after I pulled out the plug. The next of the inside of the plug. And the third of the outside of the plug. Thank you.

Wow that looks 100% better
I hope she heals well and this is behind you!
