Hi. My name is Jamie. I have a hen that has been acting a bit subdued, and it has me pretty concerned.
Yesterday she was standing quite still for long periods of time. When I saw her sitting on her nest box a little bit later in the day, she looked a little strange, so I checked out her backside. It looked very messy. Kind of slimy and clear.
I brought her in the house to observe her for the rest of the day, and overnight. I also took away her food and provided only water so that I could make sure her crop emptied out this morning in order to rule out sour crop. She didn’t drink much yesterday, and she was pooping a yellowish substance that looked kinda like egg yolk to me.
When I checked on her this morning, I noticed that she passed these two really strange things!
The first one looks like a clump of egg whites to me, and I have no idea what that second thing is! Is this her natural way of solving the problem, and she is fine now? Or do you think I need to take her to a vet?
Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
Sincerely,
Jamie
