Silkie Hen Vent Problem Please Help!!

[cherndon712]

Ok, Snowball is almost 1 year. She has never laid an egg. I was looking her over today, and realized I screwed up!! I thought it was my roo, but actually her...
Her vent is two holes, not just one...Any advice?

External or internal ?? External there should only be one hole...a cloaca. Both the oviduct and the bowel empty separately out of the same hole externally. So if you are seeing the vent slightly open, there would be two holes on the inside....

I'm sure someone with better info will pop in. See this pic

Oh, no, it's definately 2 holes OUTSIDE...I have over 60 chickens, and she's the only one like this.
