I have a 4 year old Rhode Island Red named nugget. I believe she has some serious problem going on but I don’t know what it could be.
Symptoms: Her poop has been runny for well over 4 months by now and she constantly has soiled feathers around her vent, but that was her only symptom over the winter. Now that the weather is warming up all my girls started laying eggs except for her. About 30% of the time she sits with her tail down not moving while the others are foraging. She can’t be egg bound bc these symptoms have been around for about a month, and egg binding is fatal after 24-48 hours. Her appetite is fine, she is eating and drinking, she comes running up to the fence with the other girls when I walk outside.
The only thing I can’t think of is maybe she has a liver/kidney problem, or possibly cancer since she is kind of old.
