My 6 month old lavender Orpington has poop sticking to feathers around her vent. It’s not blocking it- she is not acting any different -I’m new to chickens and wondering what it is and what to do-I have not done anything yet.
The picture isn’t great as I was by myself 🤦🏼‍♀️ l don’t think this is normal, so I need your expertise.

I don't really see anything too drastic. Sometimes when chickens do have runny stools, some will stick to feathers.
2 possible solutions.
Trim those fluffy feather closer to skin.
Provide a good dust bath area.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and:welcome
