Hey I have a 8 week old barn yard mix frizzle, that overall is acting like nothing is wrong, I noticed that she had a pasty butt, so I brought her in and soaked it to clean it. I noticed that all her feathers below her vent are gone and her belly looks swollen as well as her vent. I check their vents once a week or so just to make sure that they are ok, I have 9 others and everyone one else is good. Last time I checked was about 5 days ago. I am out there regularly and usually sit in the run in the evenings for a little bit before putting them in the coop and everyone acts normal. They haven't started using their roosting bars yet. I didnt know if maybe she is laying at night in her poop.... I am worried I dont want anything to happen to her. She did poop several times and it was brown with white peak and once it was runny and yellowish.

Unfortanately, she passed away. She acted fine and was behaving normally when I let them out of the coop into the run. A couple of hours later I went to check on them and she had passed.
