Chillin' with the herd
Hi
I live in Huntsville Alabama and I recently rescued a hen from a family that was moving. She has always walked with a limp and never raises her tail feathers and I don’t think she has ever laid an egg. I’ve had her for three months. Today I caught her and looked her over. She had a bunch of poop on her butt so I gave her a bath. Her belly is really big and swollen and I found these weird balls around the base of her feathers under her vent. And her joints look lumpy but no bumble foot. Does anyone know what these are? No vets around here for me to take her to. What can I do for her? What are these lumpy things?
