Vent Gleet??

[TheChickenLady1]

I got my Golden Comet hens just about 3 weeks ago and one of them, Fauna, has been acting strange. She seems lethargic and much unlike herself. She doesn't want to get out of the coop or move much. She has some sort of white discharge coming out of her butt and the red of her neck seems to be kind of white. I had to give her a warm bath to remove the poo / discharge. She hasn't laid since I got her I'm pretty sure. Her appetite hasn't decreased. I'm concerned about her. I've included some photos of the discharge, the red of her neck, and her bottom. Please give input if you can!

Hello! I have never experienced this, so I can't give you any 'do this' or 'don't do this' tips, so I'll just post this link and wait until someone more experienced than I am comes along and gives you some help

Update on the discharge / poo

I think there could be a good possibility of your chicken having a reproductive disorder which includes internal laying or egg yolk peritonitis. Symptoms can include not laying or irregular laying, loss of weight in the breast area, sometimes an enlarged spongy or tight lower belly, loss of appetite, a reluctance to walk ber far preferrring to sit or lie down, and sometimes odd walking including like a duck or more upright than usual. Antibiotics early in the disease may help prolong life, but will not cure it. If vet care is available, you may get some testing done to rule out other problems. I don't see any evidence of vent gleet which usually includes a scalded vent area.
