Hi! This chicken is about 25 weeks old. Has not laid an egg yet. She stands kinda weird but doesn’t act like she is in distress. Eats and drinks normally. She has some poopy butt feathers but I soaked her and got it off. Vent looks good and not irritated. Any ideas? It’s been hot here. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

What breed is she supposed to be?

Looks hot.
I'd provide shade and cool water. You can provide electrolytes in a separate water dish as well.

What are you feeding?
Check to make sure the crop is emptying.

She was sold to me as a barred rock but definitely is not.

Feeding them all flock with oyster shell available. They free range most days
