1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
Healthy 3yr White Leghorn.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She has poop stuck to her feathers almost up to her vent and there’s a yellowish whitish fluid that seems to continually be coming out of her (only saw her for a few minutes) Also they currently have some lice but I’m not sure if she has some.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
Only noticed when I went to shut the chickens in this evening.
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
No!
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
She seems fine.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
Looks normal.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
Just wiped gently some of the poop off will bath her tomorrow.
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
All myself.
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
Can do that tomorrow.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
Wood shavings in a wooden coop.
 
trim up any of the feathers that are extremely poopy near the vent and pictures are needed. Has there been any change in feed/diet? Has she gone down in pecking order or become lethargic?
