Vent and Poo Problems

[HerdAndHome]

Hello BYC Friends!
Long time no see. I've increased my flock of 9 to 18 as of September. (Eight 2y/o hens, nine 7 m/o pullets and one 7m/o Roo.)
Past couple of days I have found watery, milky poo, and today one poo had very thick milk around it. It is hard to tell which chicken is leaving the poo.
My 2 y/o ornery but apparently healthy Wyandotte has a vent that looks pretty bad. Pics of all below.
My 3 runs are one washed river sand, two dirt. I use PDZ and soft Aspen bedding in the coops and Aspen nesting pads.
The feed is Tucker Milling NatureCrest non-gmo 16.5% mini-pellets. And I give a few handfuls of mealworms each morning. Some kitchen veggie scraps also.
Any insight and advice that you have is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Give her a good wash up, then coat the skin under the vent with some NuStock cream.

If possible, take a sample of the poop for a fecal float to see if your flock needs deworming. The white is urates, is everyone drinking well?

Hey Wy! They are drinking a lot of water and eating the feed well. Our weather has been crazy, lots and lots of rain, freezing temperatures for 2 weeks end of February, it was 78° today it'll be 22° Tuesday night. Lacey, my Wyandotte, has rock hard stuff around her vent like she's eating calcium powder paste. Which she's not, but I do leave flaked calcium out for their grazing when they want it. It's supposed to be warm tomorrow so I will wash her up maybe trim some of the fluffy feathers away. Thanks for your help!
