Hey I was reading about your chicken with pasty butt (last NOV) how did that all turn out? I have a hen in the same boat right now. Barley eating, big hard crusty poo stuck to the inside of her vent making it a very small opening. Ive done the bath and soak thing, picked away at it, separated her, am watching her in the house. Gotta do round 2 tomorrow. Any advice??
