    Bald vent. Goes in and out with breathing.

    So. She has a bare back, lost 5 Henson, and she is taking over with the roosters I guess. I have put a saddle on her to prevent more problems on back, but today we noticed he vent is featherless, and moves in and out with her breathing. Shes a bit "mucky" back there, as though she has poo...
