Poopy butt

[NDchickenlady]

I have a 1.5 year old hen that always has a poopy butt. I’ve washed her off and don’t see any mites or eggs. Skin looks fine. Tried electrolytes, Corid. She’s lost a few feathers but otherwise seems normal. Any advise? None of my other hens are having problems.

Yeast infection? Plain greek yogurt or probiotics and vitamins and lotramin morning and night on vent? Just trying brainstorm some ideas.

Give her plain boiled white rice mixed with buttermilk to eat for a couple of days. You can mix it in her layer feed if you wish. Then feed her plain layer feed thereafter, no treats.
The rice will settle her digestive tract and the buttermilk will coat intestinal lining and is a better probiotic than yogurt. Yogurt tends to run out their rear end.
