Hello,
I am fairly new to chickendom. going on four years. One of my first hybrid layers has a very distended, swollen, red rectum. I think she was the one with blood in her stool and maybe the watery stool too. I was hoping it was undigested worms when I first saw it. This has been around for months now. Then I noticed her pasty butt.
Washing it this morning I found it was worse than that and the smell nearyly made me throw up several times.
Anyone here a good source on chicken rearends? She loves to eat still. Feeding her hot water and honey. Some meal worms and organic grain sprouts. I have antibiotic and electrolyte in water but my sick birds never seem to go for that.
Is she in pain? Probably alot when she defecates. I hope I can get help here.
Do you think it could be a worm thing? Is there something I am not doing I need to do for my chickens to keep this from happening?
I am grateful for your help.
thank you
The local farm institute is something too I will phone for help.
