Freedom Rangers dirty vent

[Chickennoob2025]

I have 9 week old freedom rangers that have been lying down a lot of the day and just today I noticed some of their vents are dirty! Any ideas what it could be and what to do? Thanks so much!

Hi there. What's their diet? Crop feel? Ever wormed them?

They get food scraps, scratch, some chicken specific treats with pumpkin seeds and worms, and then just a basic organic grower feed. I’ve never wormed them and haven’t felt their crop today.

I'd limit all the scraps and things and encourage the real feed.

Do you have photos of them and their poop?
