I have a 3 year old Rhode Island Red chicken. She has very runny/watery poops and her butt is a mess because of it. Vent does not look red or seem swollen. Belly is hard. Have had her quarantined for several days, and she is eating and drinking normally. I can't find anything that seems to fit...
is there any way for me to convince my poor hens that I'm not in fact trying to hurt or harass them when I go to help clean the poop stuck to the feathers on their vent??? I haven't had to do it often but it's been more than twice now with one specific hen and she is always so distressed about it
I've had my pekin for about 2 months and her big girl feathers are coming in very nice aside from some molting on her top that still has to go. Aside from that I've noticed that her butt area that is around her cloaca has poop marks around it. I've given her "baths" by letting her soak and...

2) Not her normal self, not joining the flock (free range), staying close to coop, puffed up/cold looking, laying down, unable to stand, falls over everytime she tries to stand. Less mobility with each passing day...
This morning I noticed that one of our hens, Orloff, had poop stuck to the feathers under her tail/vent area. Her vent doesn't seem to be blocked, and it does not bother her (I will say, however, that I have not been keeping very close track of her). She made what seemed to me a rather large...

Every spring for about 3 or 4 years now I get new chicks to add to my flock. I’ve never had this problem with the new baby chicks from the farm store having poopy butts. Is this a normal thing or is there something causing it.
