I have a 2.5 yr old Easter Egger. three months ago I noticed she was missing some neck feathers. I thought perhaps she got into a tiff. More neck feathers disappeared and her body feathers started becoming sparse. I thought it was just a molt. However, no new feathers appeared. On closer inspection, I see the feathers appear to be broken off. See the photo. Yesterday I watched as she poked herself to the side of her vent, and as she did, some nearly clear liquid squirted out (maybe slightly white). I poked her vent myself. It wasn't red, or scabby. It didn't smell. I also checked under her wings for parasites, and didn't see any.
She appears otherwise healthy, is eating, running around, dust bathing as normal.
