[CHICKENS-101] 2 month old orpington has wet bottom - thoughts?

 

I have 6 chickens (mixture of breeds). All are "ok" except for White Orpington hen. Discovered this morning a wet bottom area, with surrounding feathers stained a light brown. Vent does not look prolapsed nor otherwise injured. Surrounding skin is intact. She is acting herself, just a bit more shy than usual and tending to stay either under coop or in nest box. All other chickens are acting normal & their bottoms are dry & otherwise unaffected looking. This may have started a few days ago. I physically examine them 1-2x week...she was fine last weekend.

thoughts?
