Heya sorry for posting yet again within 24 hours wer dealing with one sick hen at the moment so im being extra panicy. The sick hen is being kept seperate from the flock.

Anywho our girl bonny is 7months old has an appetite like a horse, is running around very active and chatty is drinking and basically has the same cheeky personality as always. shes still laying too. however the last few days she has been walking with her tail down at times shes waddling quite a bit. she does has a little bit of white gunk on her butt its not a substantial amount though.

should i be worried is there anything i can do? iv checked other posts on this but all the chooks in those scenarios had no appetite and stuff.

Thanks a mill
 
It's possibly "Vent Gleet". If it is, it will only get worse and also infect the rest of the flock.

The best thing you can do is take her to a vet, get her properly diagnosed and treated.
