One of our hens- 1 yr old- has lost feathers under her vent, is swollen there and seems to be loosing more and more feathers from other places everyday. I thought it is too soon for her to molt...could it be stress?
Also- Did a warm water soak last night and separated her to see if she is laying or not. No egg yet. Maybe I'm overreacting? She is eating, drinking and seems happy, but she does move slower and sometimes stands with her tail lowered. Any thoughts? This is a pic of her bottom a few days ago...
