Hi, one of my hens has had a dirty backside for a few days now, and I saw signs of runny poo a few times too. I am in the process of worming them (just in case) as I read that they shouldnt ever have dirty bums! Now I need help in how best to clean her up! something I do not relish doing!!!
My thoughts are to get a warm soapy bucket of water, hold her and sponge down with perhaps a good dousing after! is this method ok and will it work? if anyone has any better ideas please let me know
PS she is otherwise healthy, eating drinking and perky but I dont think she is laying (i could be wrong but I only have two hens and am only getting one egg a day when I usually have two)
