Warning posting pictures. Two days ago one of my girls started limping, and I noticed the other chickens were starting to pick on her. I separated her from the others and put her in a dog crate to make sure she was protected. The first day I just noticed the limping, yesterday I picked her up and most of her feathers on her breast were gone and a very tender red chest revealed itself, along with a very wet vent with a milky whited substance coming out. I cleaned her up and soaked her in some epsom salt and she looked better as far as redness, but she is limping and very swollen. I have attached pictures after the soak. Does this look like Vent GleetView attachment 3641335View attachment 3641335

Welcome to BYC. Do you have the original, full-size version of those pictures? I ask because they are too small to see any details.
