Hey all, I have 3 girls and one of them has a very bad issue where it looks like her insides are falling out of her behind. She has very leaky poop and for the most part it kind of just leaks. I was hoping it would get better but when I checked on her today it looked worse. She is acting normal, eating and has energy, but stopped laying eggs a few weeks ago, The other two are completely fine and show no signs of this problem. I dont know what to do, please help! M
Never heard of this. It could be that she's getting ready to lay an egg, do any other animals have acess to the coop area? do you have a rooster/ can you actually see her innards? sorry about all the questions, trying to help. best of luck!
If her insides look as if they are coming out it is probably a prolapse..is the protrusion red ? If so...I would suggest that you firstly bathe her in warm water with either epsom salts or betadine, dry her and apply Preparation H or some honey on the prolapse...keep her away from the main flock in a darkened area for a day or two... If no bloody/red protrusion it would be prudent to de-worm her and the rest of the flock... She may have vent gleet... Can you post a photograph of the vent ? It would help to diagnose the problem and treatment would be easier to define...
