Hello BYC members!! It's been a minute since I posted.. but I'm puzzled about something and thought I would turn to the community for a little wisdom. We recently acquired 3 beautiful mature RIR hens. I don't know their exact age, we get approx 1 egg a day from the 3(total, not each) and it's been this way since they came to live with us about 4-5 months ago.
One of the chickens has had runny poo off and on since she came to us, usually greenish in color. She also has a bit of a floppy comb, and likes to sit in one spot and nap often. She eats normal, drinks normal, will mill around the yard with the other 2... They are much more enthusiastic about their "play" than she is, but nothing that would cause alarm. She doesn't seem as interested in treats as the other 2, though she used to be just as excited as them when they knew it was coming. I have checked her belly and rear end, no hard spot and no obvious sign of discomfort, or bad she'll from her break, also no discharge from anywhere. Her feathers are not gross from the poo, and her comb is bright red, though her face is a bit more pale than the other 2... But again, not enough to be alarming on it's own. I guess my question is, am I too naive to notice something really is wrong with her and should be doing something I'm not... Or is this all typical stuff that I should just keep an eye on? Any and all above is appreciated! I attached a couple of pictures of her, and get sisters, below.
