Hello everyone! I'm so grateful to have this wonderful forum here! Every time I've had a problem or a question you all are so quick to give great advice! So thank you, thank you!
My problem is not with a hen of my own, but one of my Dad's. I noticed about 1 week ago that the hens who were black (about 4) had white feces stuck down the length of their bottoms. Almost like they pooed while bent over and it just dribbled down by towards their legs/bellies. The hens were acting normal and the other colored ones are not affected at all. I don't know if this is pasty butt or not.
Now one hen is very sick, last night she would not move for scratch, for warmth, nothing. We picked her up and put her in a warm coop. I'm sure she is still sitting there. Here are the pics we were able to get of her.
I couldnt really get a pic of the vent, I'm not sure where it is? I just saw 2 pink areas when I moved the feathers, I assume the vent was one of them. Nothing jumped out at me as swollen or infected, I didn't see much of anything except a pink spot. I'm not sure what to do, I know she is sick. The others are probably going to get sick as well. Thank you in advance!
