My hen isn’t pooping right.

I don't have any experience with vent gleet. Hopefully one of the experts will come online soon and be able to give you some advice.

@RubelliteRose, she was egg bound! I went down to check on her, and she was gasping, and then she layer an egg. On her roost. Thank you for replying so quickly.

I'm so glad she is feeling better!

Give her a calcium tablet now. Even though she laid an egg, there could be another one close behind the first. This is quite common and one reason why a hen becomes egg bound. Be sure she has plenty of water to drink.

Okay. It’s late now, and she is sleeping. She laid an egg yesterday, but I will do that asap.

I'm glad she laid her egg! Sounds like she's doing better.
I would follow the advice from @azygous and get some calcium into her.

Let us know how things go.

Yes! Thank you flash.

Well, in the middle of the night she laid a soft shelled egg. Is this something that will keep happening?

We could only get the pills now. What one is safe, for the future?
