My year old Australorp is extremely sick.
She has a dirty vent and some drops of liquid are randomly coming out of her vent. Moreover, her vent is swollen and looks a bit purple.
I first suspected her of egg bound but that is not the case here.
Her crop is extremely hard. Like it feels hard and I can barely massage it. I gave her a tablespoon of coconut oil to help massage it, but it was just so hard that I could barely do anything.
If you look closely at her droppings, you can actually see whole grains in it. She is not eating on her own and I am force feeding her water.
Her vent is also really smelly. Could vent gleet possibly cause her to be lethargic?
