Please help! Don’t know what’s wrong with her.

What is wrong with this chicken? My mother and I are trying to figure out and it’s been like this since yesterday. Please help me, she can still poop.

What makes you think something is wrong? All we can see is there is something on the rear end of this bird...

That is exactly what I’m talking about. There’s a red big lump stuck under her vent. And there’s white fluid around it. She can still poop, I don’t know if she can lay.

Is her belly distended at all? How does it feel? The white stuff looks very similar to what poops from a chicken that is "internally laying" look like. I also see the red sore. Is she eating? Walking around like nothing is wrong, or is she rather listless, walking like a pregnant woman? Does she hold her wings up or are they droopy?

She is perfectly fine. Everything you asked, she’s perfect. All besides the red sore and that’s pretty much it.

Do you see anything coming out of the rel lump itself (is there a hole oozing stuff)?

This has stopped, but yesterday BESIDE the red lump there were white liquids just dropping out. Today during my time inside the run, I saw her poop twice.

Have the other hens been picking on her or vent pecking? She has some feather loss, and it looks like hardened crust under the vent. It would be good if you could bring her inside and soak her for 20 minutes in either warm water with Epsom salts or some Dawn or Betadine. Wash off the poop and gunk, when you get ther dry, take a new picture. While she is in there, use a glove it you have one, and insert one finger inside the vent an inch for a stuck egg, egg material, membrane, etc. Make sure that she is dried with a hair dryer and completely dry. Apply some plain Neosporin ointment to her vent area. Can you see what is going on under her belly in the first picture?

If you can clean her up a bit with warm water perhaps more will be discoverable such as whether the source of goo is the vent or an abcess. Then any new discharge can be looked at aside from poo on her rear, as to any sign of blood or yolk or uunusual odor such as yeast.
