Just went out to tuck the girls in for the night and found that my 1yr old RIR banty is not right. Stand spraddled, tail down and not looking like her perky self. Color is good, though. When I inspected her vent, it had some slimy, stringy whitish goo stuck in the feathers. Vent itself is normal in color, but maybe a little swollen (wouldn't you know it, camera's out of commission). She's at the bottom of the pecking order and hasn't laid an egg in months.
As always, it's the pet bird and I'm not real sure where to start to help her. I did search internal laying and egg bound, but am probably too flustered to make sense out of a lot of it. Please, could I have someone hold my hand?
TIA,
