My khaki Campbell Drake is 16 weeks old. Today I noticed him dipping his backside over and over. He did pass what looked like water but nothing solid. He didn't really want the lettuce that I took out which is somewhat unusual. Normally everyone is in the scramble for the goodies. He just picked at a leaf and then walked away. Hopefully that link will work because I got a decent video of what he's doing. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. As far as feed goes, I give them a mix of all flock and layer feed as well as some fermented grains, and they free range during the day.

It's pretty red and irritated.
We tried reinserting it twice this morning, but no sooner do we put him down than it's popped back out again.
 
I got some hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointments today while I was in town and slathered him with them. I did put it back in a couple of times, but it popped right back out again. It's looking a little worse this evening. The skin seems to be starting to dry out after being out most of the day. He is in his own area of the coop with a kiddie pool. Can't tell if he's actually eating anything. He is drinking.
