my 4 month old hen looks like she is trying to either lay a egg or she is constipated, cause she is bearing down every 3 or 4 mins and a red ballon like object is inflating out of her vagina / rectum area??? What is happening??

I've not had this happen before but i think I've read of something similar happening with either being egg bound or prolapse - search the forum for those two terms - I'd go with prolapse first since it sounds like the inner tissue is coming out. Best of luck and keep us posted.

* for prolapsed vent it seems people rinse the area with warm water and apply honey to help shrink it back in - put on a rubber glove and gently help the tissue back inside. - again, Ive not had to do this but this is what i've seen on the prolapsed vent search here on the forum. Some ppl also use prep H creme too it looks like instead of the honey. Hope this helps!
