I think i found out what's wrong. It makes sense bc she's the top dog in the pecking order & the others don't peck her.
I treated for mites just incase bc the coop hadn't been used or cleaned for a long time, by me anyways) but her & the lil silkie rooster sleep on the roost & the other chickens sleep up in the rafters up in the ceiling above them but she sleeps on one side of the roost & the rooster sleeps in...
Does anybody know what's going on my girl? This started several months ago but I thought it was bc she was going thru a molt but now she's got a spot on her chest. I've treated the coop for mites/lice & there are 13 other chickas that r fine & recently molted normally as she did too everywhere...
I'll have to do some research on that vent gleet I've never heard of that. I'd suspect being picked on too but I've sat & watched & she runs the roost. Is vent gleet serious?

Checking to make sure these 3 hens are hens. Its hard to get good pics bc i didn’t raise them so they’re not tame & run away but hopefully u can tell with the few pics of each that r here
