Haven't heard of this. Sad. Me? Knowing me, I would have plucked. Then smeared some good ol neo in there. . Serious.

I thought about it, but wanted to give her some time for the tissues to heal. Things looked kind of swollen and diaper rashey.

I have a Wyandotte that gets her vent poopy too. And its not just her feathers, its her vent. She is an older lady though and has suffered from flystrike incidences. She is doing good so far though! Just needs to be cleaned often, is all. I have never heard of feathers growing there though! Do you have pictures?

Fly strike is the worst!
I didn't think of pictures at the time. She doesn't like being handled, but next time I will take some.

I tried googling that Wishing. I didnt find anything. Robert said its normal for creatures to grow like that and humans do it too but again, I didnt find anything.
What I am thinking is it might have something to do with positioning. Like, she was swollen last time you seen her and now she isnt so it may have always been there and its something genetic. Sorta like an inverted vent. I dont think I would pluck just because its a sensitive area prone to ripping.

Thank you for researching! I don't think it's normal for a chicken as none of the others have ever had it. Her vent looks normal except for all the pin feathers. I did wonder about swelling, so will try to check her again tomorrow, but I really do think it's been getting progressively worse.

And if the feathers are plucked, they grow back faster.

Argh! Welll, poor Santa will have to get used to handling then, because at this rate she will need cleaning weekly. Just what I need...

Now my arm is rashed.

That could be shingles.
Sis had a very small patch like that above her eyebrow. Looked like poison oak. Dr said shingles. It wasn't painful. Took several weeks to go away.

Sleep habits all wonky again. Fell asleep early and now awake at 3am.
Bright side... lots of hot coals left in the stove so easy to get a cheerful fire going.
