Leicester_H Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hi Bossie (ex-bat) had grown all her fluffy feathers back, but I noticed a few days ago some were missing - an area approx 2 inches diameter below her vent. The area is covered in a thin layer of white 'stuff' - I washed it all off but its come back a day later. Originally thought it was droppings (as her vent has always leaked a little) - but it's too uniform (I think). She otherwise seems absolutely fine. Any ideas and what to do. Thanks, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 It could either be urate staining - so their 'wee' comes out as white stuff, which you normally see on the top of their poo. Or, if she is having egg tackle problems, then it could be some lubricant where she is trying to get an egg out. Keep it clean to avoid fly strike and if it doesn't stop, I'd get her to a chicken-savvy vet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks - I'm pretty sure she stopped laying eggs. She's the one who had a prolapse - so we're bringing her in at night - so can clean her every evening, if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
