3 year old barred rock, normal sized for her breed
16 hen free-range flock, all others are OK
symptoms:
1) significant droppings caked on vent feathers we have noticed for a least 3 days -
day 1: normal color but caked, day 2: dark green & runny looking on top of caked droppings, day 3: looked like egg with out shell was broken on top of caked droppings
2) eating some, but not excited about it
3) somewhat lethargic, but will walk around
demeanor: sits by herself, doesn't run up for food like the others
treatment: gave her about 1ml mineral oil 2 days ago
It is clear that she is not well, but has no outward symptoms other than the above. Body looks normal in every way except for the caked droppings.
