My ducks have low butts when they are laying eggs but not sure what it means for hens.  How is their stool?  Are they pecking at the butt? 
 
Any know?  Thanks Michelle

I dont know what would cause that. Sometime hens will get extra fat on their back end below the vent and it looks like it is sagging, but not sure why.

Stool is very loose and watery.
I picked up the worset one last night and her crop was full and when I touched it she started throwing up , so I kept massaging it till it was empty and put her in a nest box for the night . She was still there this morning , and looked a little better, so I'll keep an eye on her today ...
Got the vet coming at 2 to change the bandage on Sassy's leg so I'll ask him about it ..

It seems like when the weather warms or changes and they dont drink enough that they get very full crops. I had a bird that was so full the other day as well but she seemed to be doing good. Let us know what the vet thinks.
