Icicles

[whatbeginsabetnotthat]

Hey all! I recently posted about a chicken that had icicles sticking out of her butt, and…, well…, it happened again. I’m including a pic just so you all can see. Is there anything I can do to help my poor girl? I brought her in the house and she’s warming up and I gave her some water but otherwise I haven’t touched her. Any tips? Has anyone else seen this?

It looks like she has passed a shelless egg membrane that has gotten stuck. Her toes look suspicious for possible frostbite. Try to gradually warm her and see if the object can gently be pulled out. What are your low temperatures, and do your chickens have a warm coop out of the wind with thick bedding to keep warm? Can you get a close upof her feet at some point? I was just rereading your earlier thread about her, and has she been eating and drinking?
