She is my second oldest; 6-7years.she is laying with her hind end in the air. Eating well, drinking ok, not hanging out with the rest per her normal. I did have to clean around her rear about a month ago because it was caked with dry poo. Lost 2 girls to raccoons about 10 days ago and noticed that she has a bald spot on left hind quarter. Any suggestions?
Many hens that age will suffer from reproductive problems, cancer, or ascites. How does her lower belly feel—does it seem enlarged full, spongy, or hard? How long since she has laid eggs?
