Hello. Just got back from lottie and one of the chickens was sort of stooping. When i had alook at her there is white fluid coming out of her vent and what looks like her insides. About the size of a golf ball. Any ideas. If shes still like it in the morning she'll have to go to the vets. :-[

Hi Northener - one of our chucks had this as well. She had a blocked crop - grain etc. getting stuck in her crop.

We made sure she had grit to help clear it and fed her bran which is easier to swallow. You can also clear it yourself by holding her upside down and VERY GENTLY massaging the lump. Lots of yakky gunk comes out so it's not for the squeamish but it does work!

Hope this helps
