Chronic poopy butt in adult hen

[StinkyAcres]

Commercial chicken pellets free choice for food, and a small pie tin of veggies or scratch in the evenings as a treat split between 10 chickens.

Any crop problems (full, hard, squishy, not emptying in the morning)? I recommend cutting out all treats to rule them out. My chickens get pretty poopy bottoms when they get regular treats.

I think a reproductive issue is probable, especially with her age and breed.

What are you feeding and do you give treats? Any crop problems?

Oh and no crop problems that we’ve seen. I’ll have her check her in the morning to make sure it’s empty.

I’ll have her check her crop in the morning make sure it’s empty. I’d say it feels normal? As far as I know, not overly squishy but not hard. Not super full either, but we have noticed she isn’t eating as much.
