I need some help with diagnosing a problem with my chiken

[Bob Luxa]

I have a 3/4 year old hen. She has been moving very slowly recently. She has stopped laying and her combe has fallen. She has a dirty behind as well. She is eating and drinking. I decided to de- louse her. When I picked her up I felt two largish soft lumps between her legs (no obivious jokes thank you).

I am not sure what it is? Can anyone help?

Cheers

Bob

Give us the following information. The more you tell us, the better we will be able to help you.

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
