StephenW Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi My light sussex chicken has a mucusy bottom and dirty feathers around the bum. Anyone got any ideas why? Many Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I'm not sure about the mucus but a dirty bottom can be a sign of worms or a mite/lice infestation so its worth treating for both just in case If the mucus persists I'd see what a vet says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
