My khaki Campbell Drake is 16 weeks old. Today I noticed him dipping his backside over and over. He did pass what looked like water but nothing solid. He didn't really want the lettuce that I took out which is somewhat unusual. Normally everyone is in the scramble for the goodies. He just picked at a leaf and then walked away. Hopefully that link will work because I got a decent video of what he's doing. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. As far as feed goes, I give them a mix of all flock and layer feed as well as some fermented grains, and they free range during the day.

It looks also like he's walking around with his penis hanging out. Is this normal behavior or is he having an issue?

Welcome To BYC

No, that would not be normal.
Hopefully this has corrected itself, if not, you'll need to help him out.

I couldn't see the penis but this can be serious can you post a pic of what his penis looks like. Is it black or a normal flesh color?

Here is some info

It's pretty red and irritated.
We tried reinserting it twice this morning, but no sooner do we put him down than it's popped back out again.

I have been referencing these links repeatedly today. Thank you.

I got some hydrocortisone and antibiotic ointments today while I was in town and slathered him with them. I did put it back in a couple of times, but it popped right back out again. It's looking a little worse this evening. The skin seems to be starting to dry out after being out most of the day. He is in his own area of the coop with a kiddie pool. Can't tell if he's actually eating anything. He is drinking.
