My 1.5 year old red sex link has always laid huge eggs. In the last 6 months she has had a constant leakage. Starting 3 months ago she would lay soft shell eggs. She has started molting a couple of weeks ago and hasn't laid an egg since.
I have not seen her poo, just a constant leakage. I have given her a bath but she still leaks.I have boot trays filled with stall refresh(sweet pdz) under where she roosts. No solid poo - just liquid.
She doesn't seem to be in distress and her appetite is good. Is there anything else I can do for her?

Does her vent area smell bad? She may have some vent damage from the large eggs or she could have early cloacitis (vent gleet,) a fungal infection. It usually is treated by giving her a warm soak in Epsom salts water (2 oz in a dishpan of water) for 15 minutes daily. Then smear some antifungal cream just inside and out side on the vent. Monitstat, miconazole, Nustock vet cream, or clotrimazole are antifungal creams that may work. Give some probiotic Greek yogurt 1 tablespoonful daily. Here is a good link to read:

Thank you! There is a slight yeasty smell. I'll try some antifungal after a bath.
