My question is that one of my chickens have some yellow stuff on her bottom. Can you all tell me what is that and why she have the yellow stuff on her
 
Could you attach a picture? It could be a few things, and a picture would help narrow it down. It could be a pasty butt, which is more common in Silkies and chicks, and that’s where poop gets stuck to their butt, and the treatment for that is to just wipe it off gently with warm water.
If you have yellow bedding material, it could just be stuck on
I’ve heard of cases where an egg has broken inside of a hen, and if the yolk is hanging out, that could be what you’re seeing. This is a bad problem, and usually surgery is the only solution, although I have heard of cases where the chicken was fed calcium tablets and the extra calcium was what was needed to survive.
