I have an older hen, who has never looked "perfect" in the year that we have owned her. She has gone through stages of looking healthy, then not so healthy. Her energy is good and eating/drinking, she is the leader of the pack but sometimes aloof. She has never had full butt fluff either, always some feathers missing. Anyway, in a few of her droppings there have been "fatty deposits". She also has stopped laying, when she did lay she would lay MASSIVE double yolk eggs or soft eggs (tried to give her supplements to fix that but now she has stopped laying). I have attached photos of her, the poop from today, cutting open the poop from today, her butt, etc.
Any ideas on waht this is, what to do, what to give her?
I only have 4 backyard chickens and do not want the other girls to fall ill either.
