Hen acting weird and has unusual poo?!?!?

[chickenz101]

My hen who is about 2 years old, has a pooy bottom and is slighlty slow when walking but is eating and drinking properly and is showing no ther signs of illness apart from being slighly slow. This is a picture of her poo? What could be wrong?

Could it be EYP/internal laying?

Thanks, but what does that mean and is it fatal?

Look up info on BYC about internal egg laying. It is possible an egg broke inside of her....There is alot of info on that and what to do..hope that helps.

When was the last time she laid an egg??

Oh ok thank you! I would say about 5/6 days ago

This is a thread on Ascities, internal egg laying and is VERY informative.......
