What is wrong and how can I help?
Our take
Uh-oh, it sounds like one of your feathered friends is in a bit of a pickle! When you noticed your 3-year-old girl standing alone, it’s understandable that concern kicked in. That dead leaf attached to the poop and mucus could be a sign of a few potential issues, including a prolapse, especially since you just returned from vacation. It’s great that you have a separate area to clean her up, but let's dive deeper into how to help her. First, ensure she’s comfortable and stress-free in her new space. After cleaning, monitor her closely for any signs of distress or worsening condition. Consulting a vet may also be beneficial. You’re doing the right thing by seeking advice—let’s get your girl cluck-tastic again!
Noticed one of my 3yo girls was standing alone (near the house, I assume looking for me for help), and I went to go see her, and noticed this on her vent. That’s a dead leaf attached to the poop/mucus.
I have an area to separate her and am going to clean her up, but what else can I do and what could the issue be?
Update: added photo to comments after cleaning her. We just got back from a week-long vacation to visit family, and I think it’s a prolapse (?) that festered? I’m not sure what to do for her now or how (or if) I can help.
