    Silkie mix with discharge and maybe blocked vent? Gray, pasty discharge (no yellow or clear)

    Soy (silkie mix hen probably 9 months) was acting quiet this morning, eating OK, but wobbly on her feet.

    Black Star stopped laying; appears totally normally

    We brought home chickens for the first time just over two weeks ago. We have a Black Star hen, Ameraucana hen, a Polish hen, a black star pullet and Buff Orpington pullet, so 5 total of which we expect laying from 2 (the BS and the A). The Ameraucana lays nearly every day. The Black Star laid 5...
