HELP HUGE EMERGENCY!!!!

[Buffy18]

Is that "leaking" from her vent or is that what she's pooping?

I would bring her in, give her a soak in warm epsom salts. Gently feel inside the vent with a lubricated gloved finger, feel for an egg.

Get her hydrated. She's probably thirsty, plain water is fine, if you have poultry vitamins direct dose her once she is drinking. I would also get some extra calcium into her - broken up/crushed TUMS or 1/2 tablet of Caltrate. Don't worry about feed right this minute, get her drinking first.

Hopefully if she is having trouble passing an egg or membrane, this will help her along.

Okay thx

I was really worried so should I keep her inside to help her pass the egg? Or

Her vent looks dilated. Can you feel inside for an egg—insert a finger an inch inside? The material on the roost looks like frozen egg albumen. I would say that she may have an egg that broke or impacted oviduct. Do you have a vet that could see her? Give the calcium, and try soaking her in warm water, but only do that inside the house where she can be kept warm and dried off later. You could try putting her on a towel on a heating pad on low in warm humid bathroom as an alternative to soaking.

I don’t have a vet that could see her today.

That looks frozen?
Is cold a factor where you are.....where are you?
I don't mean to be 'sketchy', but climate is important info.

Thanks. I’m gonna soak her and everything and comfort her but, what do I do after

Either soak her in a warm pan of soapy water or in your kitchen sink for 20 minutes just up to the bottom of her wings (shallow bath.) This may relax her enough to get any egg or egg material out of her vent.

If you cannot do that, put her on a heating pad on low—and make sure a towel is under her. Offer her some water to drink, and give her the calcium crushed into some egg or yogurt.
