Is her vent sealed together? It looks like it is in a few pictures. What are you using on it? I kept my girls sprayed down with vetericyn every 3-4 hrs and put mounds of triple antibiotic on it (without pain reliever. The vet also told me not to do Epsom salts. He said it dries out the skin and...

She's perfect and amazing!! I do have to clean back there every 3 weeks -ish because her poop comes out funny at the fold where the vent stuck back together at the top lip but besides that it's all good. Do you have pictures? I can take a look if you'd like.

The shell was very thin but otherwise perfect size and shape! No blood either. I just don't understand how she was able to lay lol. It's been dark besides maybe 2-3 hrs a day. She's going to remain inside until her feathers grow in more and the rest of that little tear ball is healed fully. It...

My girl has beat all odds. Idk how but she laid an egg for the first time in weeks!! She's in the dark 85% of the time unless being fed/watered and bathed!!! In a dark bathroom with a blanket over at all times.

I never knew combs could get so bright and red. I definitely need to make these same changes to my girls that are outside as well. She's so shiney lol.

I'm praying it heals okay and she doesn't end up laying internally because of it. Maybe I'll be lucky and she won't try and lay again if that's possible. She's such a good girl. I wouldn't mind at all. I switched her back to feed yesterday and stopped withholding all her food besides the small...

Its healing but won't go back in at all. I've tried all the tricks. It's turning hard like cartilage but still very pink. I have no avian vets around unfortunately

Is buttermilk available at Walmart? I'm at work and can go on break! I gave her pellets yesterday and this morning before leaving they were actually becoming solid! Yay!

Her coop is completely proofed. Like completely. No way inside. They were actually outside free roaming and we found a fox den with babies and the DEC couldn't relocate because of it. It's not to bad now. It's healing so fast I just don't know what to do about that weird ball where it's torn...

Hey everyone! I have spent the last ten days dealing with what I thought was vent gleet and caked on feathers. I used tweezers and got the "feather chunk" off above her vent to realize it was torn and scabbed. A fox attacked and I found my girl unable to walk good the next day and not coming out...

How did this heal? My hen has a similar injury like this from a fox.
