Hi this is my first year raising chicks & need advice.
My BR TangoTango has always been the runt & at almost 23 weeks is still not laying. She's been checking out the nest box & singing the egg song for a few weeks now.
When she was preening, I noticed her vent looks red & swollen compared to the other girls. Is something wrong with her? Or is this within the range of normal & I'm just jittery because I'm still new to this?
She's always been prone to sitting more than the others & also squawks to complain a lot.
Thanks for any advice!

Btw the other girls are different breeds (RIR & EE) so it's hard for me to tell
 
After reading a ton, and looking at my own girls' vents, that doesn't look like any of mine. Mine are moist, soft and look like smiley faces.

Following for someone more experienced to come along......
