    Hen with runny poop not laying; otherwise acting healthy

    I have a hen who is between 1-2 years of age. At the beginning of the summer she went through a molt, but has since grown most (if not all) of her feathers back nicely. She has very runny poop and now has a "messy bottom." I need to bathe her about twice a week, as I don't want her to get an...

    My girl is showing symptoms associated with Marek's, though mostly tumors. She is only now today showing minor balancing issues. Is it too late for treatment once she develops tumors?

    Possible Swollen/ Infected Preen Gland

    I noticed this morning and again during lunch that one of my female chickens hadn't yet emerged from the coop and remained perched on her roost. It's a sunny day here and this is very unlike her. I managed to move her outside of the coop into the run where she went into a corner and didn't seem...
