Can anyone please tell what might be wrong with my hen and how to help her? We noticed today that she was not acting normal. She was not moving around and eating with the other hens but squatting like she needed to lay and egg or poop. My husband and I looked at her vent area and she is leaking green and whitish fluid and it is very swollen and missing most of the feathers. She keeps squatting and looking like she needs to poop or lay but i can't tell which. My husband manually checked her vent but said he could not feel anything. We syringe fed her some water and vegetable oil but she still hasn't pooped. I feel so sorry for her, she looks so uncomfortable, but i'm not sure how to proceed or if there is any hope for her.
