I have a sapphire gem, about 2 years old. Hasn’t seemed off her game at all. I was out with the girls yesterday and noticed some pink staining on the feathers along her back and when I was watching her I noticed her butt feathers were filthy and matted. I soaked her in warm water—that goo was very resistant to coming off! She has thick white goo oozing from her vent and her vent is protuberant and cherry red. The surrounding skin looks okay. I cleaned her up, but the white goo is a constant ooze. Her crop seems fine and her demeanor seems normal. I isolated her in my heated garage—so she’s a little salty…her poops seem normal. They eat Dumor layer feed, supplement with oyster shell, BSF treats and the occasional cast of veggies/fruits. I started her on Monistat suppository 2X/day orally and smeared a little cream on her vent. Oh…and today I went to my coop and found a rubber egg from one of my other hens! But all their buts appear fluffy and normal! Photos (graphic) to follow. And additional advice appreciated.
