Is this a vent problem? Kind of emergency.

Hi everone!

I have a hen named Peaches. Yesterday I noticed that she had poop stuck to her vent, and looked like she was having a hard time pooping. So we threw her in the bucket and washed her butt! Oh what fun!! After drying her we were sure we got everything off. Fast forward to today, my brother noticed more poop stuck under her vent. However she was looking normal.. Just checking, I know poop gets stuck to there butt. She is molting, egging, and almost 2! Hope to get some help! Thanks!

You might want to clean her up again, and post a picture. If she is having runny poops at times, it may get stuck to her feathers. Also note if she has any enlargement below her vent where the droppings are not clearing her belly. During warm weather poopy vents can attract flies who may lay eggs causing maggots, and fly strike, a dangerous situation.
