5pm just went out to see the girls and this is what I found

(see attached pictures). What is up with her? I plan to wash her off with some mild soap and warm water. But should I be doing or looking for something else? She seems fine (as I just found this a few minutes ago) and as far as I know she is eating and drinking fine. I will go out and observe her a little more closely now that I have found this. She has not roosted in the coop for a while now, but sleeps in one of the nesting boxes. I did not see anything wrong with that so it did not concern me. Should it? She has always been a little friendlier and calmer than the rest, and seems to be alone a lot more than the rest. But always eats, drinks, and sleeps with everyone. She is not like an outcast, just always by me when no one else wants to be lol so I notice her more I guess. Please send thoughts and suggestions. She has lots of fresh water and eats Manna Pro egg maker pellets.

@ msteresaann
She has her wing clipped and the tips (where is looks black) are starting to grow back and she needs clipped again. No wounds

Nothing like that, she is fat and eating and drinking.
@ KatyTheChickenLady
I just found her and took the pictures. I have washed her up now. But was wondering what would cause that. It seemed a lot worse then any of the other times the girls got a little poo stuck to their feathers and I just knocked it off. This seemed to me like it could be the result of something. Not just a little poo stuck to her butt. (that is a pretty large clump).

I am a little worried about her and am afraid to just let it go. Dont want to be missing something that I should be fixing.

Also, have you ever wormed your chickens? Don't count on seeing them in the poop, because you won't seem them unless the infestation is really bad. Lots of folks worm a couple times a year. More often if you have a warm climate. Valbazen is one that you can order online and kills ALL the different intestinal worms. I have also used Eprinex pour on and it doesn't kill every type of worm, BUT it does also kill any blood sucking insect like lice and some mites. Wazine is also easy to get from the farm store. Good luck!
