I live in Andalusia Spain and started keeping chickens between 3 &4 years ago. I thought it would be a nice easy hobby my granddaughter would enjoy helping with.
I was surprised at how much I actually love these funny feathered creatures and am very sad that from the 9 we have had I now have only 2 and I think one of these is very sick.?
She is hunched over looks sad her back end is very red and swollen. Poop seems sort of pale creamy yellow. Can anyone advise please.

She doesn't want to eat or drink. Seemed more lively when I had sat with her in the sun awhile. I thought back in October she was really poorly, seems like she was just mounting. All feathers grown back beautifully & she was laying again up until last week
