Bare skin under hens vent

[Brian720]

I noticed my one hen has a bald patch under her vent. The skin is soft doesn’t feel like there’s anything under the skin. She’s acting totally fine still lays eats and drinks. Just not sure what it is

How old is your hen, and does she lay eggs? How is she acting? The area looks enlarged, and one of several things might be happening. It could be fat, a hernia, or she might have fluid or internal laying.

She’s just about a year old. Acting totally normal. She’s laying eating drinking normally
