I know this sounds a little gross, but can you cut the parts open so we can see the what the inside looks like?Found this hard-ish mass View attachment 2028150View attachment 2028153View attachment 2028151View attachment 2028155 hanging from 3 yo hen’s vent tonight. It was bloody. The outer skin slid off ( shell?) when I tried to remove the mass and it pulled apart a bit with a whitish part inside.
Her vent doesn’t appear damaged. I thought perhaps something prolapsed and was severely pecked as there were so many tiny bits of congealed blood in her feathers .Gosh, I’m not sure, either. But I think it must me? I agree tge glood is concerning. Is her vent damaged st all?
If she were mine and she's alert/eating/drinking on her own I would start her on antibiotics.Her vent doesn’t appear damaged. I thought perhaps something prolapsed and was severely pecked as there were so many tiny bits of congealed blood in her feathers .
