    Bring home a bag of crickets sometime. The most entertaining treat if you want to see chickens go crazy over a treat. I'll bring one of those clear bags of crickets home for them and I actually have to raise it real high as some of my birds actually will fly up to the bag they're so excited.

    Maybe Gentian Violet around her vent. You can request it at pharmacies and it's probably on Amazon. Be careful, this stuff stains like crazy. We used it in dog ears that had a yeast infection. Do not apply in the house or wear good clothes! 😀
