Seriously weird yellow hard broody poo. Pale comb and scratching at face.

Thanks, I have started other threads before this but don't usually get many answers for whatever I am asking. I can't get pictures of the feet online, but I haven't noticed anything other than just the swelling.

There can be many things that cause the feet to swell. You can try soaking in a warm epsom salts bath daily to see if that helps.

Hey all, I just was going yhrough my threads and wanted to update this thread with a conclusion. The broody who was expelling the yolk-like substance is totally fine. She raised her babies and went back to laying after about 6 or 7 weeks and she's been laying excellent light green eggs (her usual) since. It's been almost a year now. Thanks for all your input! I think in this case it was just the body turning off the egg factory temporarily for motherhood and purging the remaining yolk. Since that time period, she hasn't had an odd stool like that again.
