please help - almost 5 year old hen unable to pass regular stool - have soaked in rosin salts but began struggling once she got out. she cries in pain every time she tries to release poop and it seems like not much is coming out besides a mucusy white substance.
Today when I came out to the coop and let the hens out, my buff Orpington walked out with her legs splayed and tipped backwards and very unsteady. She walks, but it’s an awkward waddle. Upon closer examination, her entire bum was covered in diarrhea/wet feces. I believe it could be related to...

My six week old is bleeding on her foot, can't find the cause. What can I do? Is there ointments safe for chickens? Please help, I feel it is causing discomfort!

Lily is a silky- known to, when cold, run under General's legs. 4 days old.
General is a Rhode Island Red- more laid back than lily, loves to cuddle. 4 days old.
