I have a hen who has a good waddle going. She appears to actually have a yellow mass between her legs (inside her). She is swollen there too. I oiled her vent yesterday. She does not appear stressed or ill. She is being aggressive with the other hens.

She has decided to make a hollowed out log her place. I do not have any breeding boxes in the aviary at the moment but this hen seems determined to make anything a nest.

She is lively and interested in crooning with her mate, she evenlet him mount her again today, but it looks terrible, this yellowy looking mass inside her.

 

 

 

sorry no pics - no camera

as it is a yellow mass it sounds like a prolapse you can push it back but i would strongly recomend a vet (just in case it isnt)

Sounds like a trip to the vet is in order. What you have spoke about doesn't sound normal at all.

 

Hath she said it was inside her so I don't think a prolapse sounds right.

 

The egg could have broken inside her or it might not me breeding related at all, sometimes tumours look yellow.

didnt pick up on that if its inside her how do you know the colour

I think bambi it sounds like a rupture! Does it feel spongy? It could be a rupture or a tumor. Don't breed with her. Take her to an avain vet. I have had ruptures before and they have a normal life without breeding It will get worse if you try to breed. :bluebudgie:

She is alright, the cow. She was just hanging onto this egg it seems. She is fine now. And out being a hussy again. :bluebudgie:

I did notice she was yellowy and funny looking once before but she was much bigger this time. I have not seen her be that big before, I thought she might have had a broken egg inside her because she was fighting with another hen.

 

Thanks heaps for your answers.

Glad to hear she is all better and there was nothing majorly wrong with her.
