Hi there!
Thank God, it’s been a while since i’ve had to post a thread in this forum section, but here we are again.
Went out to let my girls out and noticed one of them in the “pooping” position. She is a black australorp, age 2.5. I made my way to check on her, inspected her vent and noticed some dirty/poopy feathers near the edges of her vent. Made me a little nervous so I checked her vent. Pulling it back ever so slightly I saw bright red tissue, and a little bit of white fluid leaked out of the vent.
Very worried that these are the beginnings of a larger prolapse that is keeping her from pooping, which in turn her pushing could be making the prolapse worse.
Side note: I’ve known this chicken to sometimes eat dirt when I run out of grit and may poop dirt because she eats it to get the pebbles, but i have grit out today so not sure where this is coming from
I want to prevent this from turning into a prolapse if anyone has any tips they would be greatly appreciated!
