My Buff Polish spent 4 hours today in the hen house, which is very unusual for her-mostly she is a very feisty active girl. She seemed to be hiding out I think, she is not typically a broody girl either, but she was sitting on the eggs.. I actually encouraged her to get out of the house...and she did a bit reluctantly, fussing at me. This afternoon, once again she was in the hen house, My husband picked her up and got her out she was reluctant to go out with her flock........then I noticed the proximal end of her beak does not look right I took some pics to see if anyone has seen this type of issue before. I'm thinking it some kind of bacteria on her beak...she constantly has it in the dirt. She is 12 months old as of May, does have to defend her self periodically from our Red Sex link, but mostly this is occasional "hen pecking" (pecking at her feathers). Please Help
