Most of my new arrivals from the battery farm are doing well but I'm a tad worried about two of them  .
One has a large, egg shaped lump below the vent which feels soft. Is this a prolapse? She seems well in herself despite her name (Scraggy  ) and is eating well.
Another has a lump on her chest to the right - very red. The others have feathers here so I can't really tell if she's the same as them - I think I can feel similar bumps on them though not as big. She also has a smaller lump at tha back, like Scraggy. She often sits hunched and is scareder (?) than the others. She is eating and I think she laid an egg two days ago.
I'm having problems uploading pics so apologies if this post all haywire

OOps. Number one above is of a red area around Mary Jane's vent that doesn't seem to be clearing - it got a lot better and then no further improvement.
Here (hopefully) is Scraggy's bum and a shot of MJ looking miserable.
She always looks miserable.
Always has.

The second pic appears to me to be her crop bulging from having being eating Nothing to worry about, the others will have the same just like you say not as obvious as they are feathered

The vent looks ok to me on the other pic too Hb, if she had prolapsed you would be able to see her insides popping out of her vent

Where abouts are you in North Wales HBilly?  If your worried and not too far away I could pop over and give them the once over to put your mind at rest
