Two days ago, I noticed a large bulge under her vent... A small amount of feathers are missing also. She's still a very happy chook, eating, drinking and socialising as normal. I thought there was a little bulge there when she first arrived but nothing changed for a long time... Just kept producing very small eggs for her size...
This increase has been dramatic and over a very small amount of time and after allot of searching on various chook sites, I think it's either a fluid mass, which can be drained, or a hernia... Unfortunately, I believe she has the latter. I'm still going to try and see if there is a fluid mass just in case but if not I believe she'll be in pain, if not already and will have to send her to chooky heaven. I can't have her here just for us when she's in pain... She's such a lovely chook... I do hope I'm wrong...
Blessings,
So tiny... 12g
Comparing...
Next to a 70g egg...
