Hi All,
I Have a seven month old Partridge cochin I think is sick. I will try to make a short story so here we go. Ive owned her for a month and she seemed very healthy and active. Last week she started to sing the egg song one afternoon but no eggs. She lives in a playhouse style coop with four Bantam cochins with supervised free range time. This morning she did not seem herself. She would not eat or drink or scratch with the other chickens. She just stands in one corner. I picked her up to examine her. What I noticed was her whole butt was soaked. I wiped it and it and the cloth was a transparent brown color almost like varnish. I noticed a clear liquid is oozing out of her vent. I put light pressure under her vent to feel if she was egg bound and it sounds like there is a lot of air and water escaping her vent kinda like a (please excuse my language but it best describes) wet fart. I leaned her forward and she spit out a cloudy liquid. She just stands or lays down and wont eat or drink. Any one deal with this before?
Thanks for your help,
Justin
