2 y/o RIR. I saw her squatting in the run today. She looks like she has a saggy diaper on and she has quite a bit of poo on her back side.
I let them out to free range for a couple hours. She has had a slight bend in her knees like she wants to poop and keeps flexing her vent like she’s going to poop but nothing comes out. I’ve seen 2 small poops from her in the last hour or so.
She has been eating, drinking and even went chasing after another hen who pecked her.
Also, I'm concerned for whatever it is she's dealing with as our temps are going to shoot up the next few days (102, 109, 108, 104, 100). The added stress of heat is worrisome.
I’ve taken a few photos. Does this seem like vent gleet? Or is she egg bound? Thanks for your help as always.
