White 'spots' around vent

Good afternoon,

 

We have an approximately 3 year old ex-battery hen who seems to have little white 'spots' around her vent. Her vent is otherwise clean and looks the normal colour, but the reason we checked (aside from the fortnightly check we do anyway) was because we noticed that her fluffy bum feathers were a bit caked with poo. This is unusual for her.

 

We know we have mycoplasma in the flock and this particular chicken was treated with anti-biotics for mycoplasma about 18 months ago.

 

We've had a quick look in our chicken books & on this forum but have come up with no possibilities. The flock are due for worming, although we have Verm-X'd them in the last month.

 

Any ideas? Thank you.
