Guys. My 8 month old hen is oozing fluid and has some poop stuck on her vent. Bulged vent, sometimes more and sometimes less. Eating well but pooping not smoothly. Problem since 4 days. One more thing to mention she sticks so badly.. Suggest remedies please urgently. Images added

It looks like she may have a prolapsed vent, but the pictures do not show the vent well. She might have an egg stuck inside as well, or she may be egg bound without a prolapse. I would soak her butt in warm soapy water and wash her off, then apply some oitment or cream to her vent area, especially on very red inflammed tissue. You can give her some Tums or calcium 1/2 tablet in her beak. If you don’t have that, take a boiled egg, shell and all, and crush it up and feed it to her. Calcium can help her lay an egg. A clear picture of her vent would be helpful. This picture is what a prolapse looks like—can you tell us if your hen looks like this:

Yes exactly the same.. I guess it is prolapsed vent. Reason might be she is too young.. And please give some remedies, keeping in view the lockdown as I can't purchase medicine or visit vet.. Best treatment please... And she is also oozing some kind of fluid from vet
 
Have you tried feeding her a crushed egg and shell for calcium? Calcium helps the muscles to contract and pss an egg. Can you feel an egg shape around the vent? The warm bath or placing her in a humid warm room on a moist, can relax her muscles to pass an egg. If she does not have an egg, just keep her red tissue moist with honey, oil, or vaseline. If it dries out there, the tissue can die. Can she actually poop or is she just passing small amounts of liquid?
 
Yes I feel her a little egg shells. There is no egg.. Her vent is recovering abit.. Redness is going away. Just washing her vent with antiseptic and giving her warm bath.. She is isolated and feeling better. Tomorrow I will use some Vaseline also. Thanks for the advice.. Please advice what feed would I give her.
