    1wk old splash Marans with large scab

    Hello! My one-week-old splash Marans, Honey, has developed a large scab over her navel. I only began to notice it forming after about her 2nd or 3rd day here. Everything that I have read here tells me to leave it until it falls off on its own but it is starting to accumulate poop because it...
