Tonight DH and I were giving our hens some mealworms for a treat and we decided to take a look at Goldie's (our GPH) butt. We have a feather picker in our coop, so we figured the missing feathers were from that. She has no blood, no redness, but some of the feathers around her butt are gone and it doesn't look like they are even trying to grow back. Also, when DH was looking at her, he noticed a weird discharge. It almost looks like she has a yeast infection (gross thought I know, but I don't know how else to describe it). Can anyone tell me what this may be and if I need to keep her away from my other birds? She is just a year old and has been laying her egg a day all week, so I don't think she is egg bound. My girls eat Flock Raiser with some scratch thrown in and they also free range all day. None of my other 5 girls have this problem.
Please help!
