What is this?

Just another question, is this egg bound?
........................video deleted................................
We were on holiday and i haven't seen them since two weeks, i have no idea when she starts to look like this!
She does look sick. A stuck egg is very easy to check for, just put on a glove, lubricate your finger and gently check the inside of her vent. If there is an egg you won't have to go in much more than 2.5 cm, usually less. These pictures should help you:

Hens can live for many months with a stuck egg as long as they can still defaecate, but if it is not removed they will die.

Thanks, i checked her earlier today and i can't feel any egg, then i took her to the vet, he gave her multivit injection in her mouth and asked me to do this for 5 days.

someone help! What is this? I am currently deworming my flock due to one of my girls. I'm sure the others have as well just not visible yet to the eye. I was checking vents last night and in my EE I found this matted stuff at tge base of her feathers. Next to her vent on the right upper side only. No other hen has this. Is it part of worms or am I dealing with worms and mites? Thanks in advance!!
Best picture I could get

Looks like mite eggs , i never seen none in person and even though the photo is a bit fuzey i remember they were clustered like that.

Here is a photo i found on google
 
I am also having a terrible times with mites this year.

Ivermectin pour on is NOT working for them. I have to Sevin dust them but my big guys won't leet me catch them for anything.

Mites can actually kill your bird if they get bad enough.
Usually they are just a horrible nuisance but if your bird already doesn't feel well, it seems they gravitate toward them. Or in huge numbers they can take a bird down.

Oh and q8, my white male peacock had them so bad he literally scratched his neck to that degree and had blood all over himself several times this summer.

I don't know what you can use in other countries because I think Sevin has been banned. :(

I am guessing this is a chicken hen how much does she weigh?
I'm not exactly sure, she's one of my bigger girls maybe 5 Ibs she's less then a year and lays well. I treated her and the rest for worms. Now what do I do? I imagine my Roo must have which I'm assuming he can spread. He is the only one I didn't check. Yes , she's a hen. The picture you posted looks just like what she has. I guess I'll be looking at chicken butts again tonight
