One of my new hens is not laying eggs. Her vent doesn't look right. I need any help I can get. how can I help this hen.

Welcome to BYC!
We are glad you joined our flock!
How old is she? Has she ever laid? If so when did she lay her last egg?
Is she eating and drinking on her own?

I just got her from a guy who sells the. He did days she was 18 months. I don't know about her past history. But her vent doesn't look right. She appears to be eating and drinking.

 

[Kiki]

Is she walking around fine and behaving normally or is she acting off?

 

[Tamiame]

She seems normal. I don't see any infection.

 

[Kiki]

She seems normal. I don't see any infection.

I'm not understanding your first post then, what kind of help are you wanting for her?


If she is acting normal and eating then I don't see a problem.

I don't see anything particularly concerning about her vent. At this time of year, many birds are moulting and therefore not laying; I had less than two dozen today from around 60 mature hens.
