Possibly sick chicken
This is Dot. She has had this bald spot for about 3 weeks…and I noticed today she seems to be raw near her rear feathers…is that vent gleet or just poopy butt ? Either way I have gloves and she will get a spa day. Wondering if I need to treat it. Also she is the bottom of the pecking order and has always seemed like a loner.
