swollen vent

I have an 11 month old speckled sussex hen who has just been going through it the past couple months :( Back in February (around the 18th if I had to guess) she started showing signs of not feeling well. She was puffed up, lethargic, not eating or laying eggs, and panting. Isolated her and had...

Help! I got a batch of silkies a few weeks ago and one has had a swollen/prolapsed vent since I got her and I don't know what else to do. The photo was taken right after I gave her an Epsom salt bath and put some Vaseline. Typically it is covered in white discharge.. Not sure if she has vent...

Hello Everyone, I have looked at a couple of posts on this and wanted to let people know of my findings. Goober was approximately 3 years old, had a leg deformity on one claw ( caused her to hobbled since birth like a penguin) she was very talkative too. She has laid some soft eggs before where...

ISA Brown, 18 months old, no panting, eating and drinking at 6 o'clock then found her like this under the deck. Gave her a warm bath and cleaned her vent area so I could see what's going on. The area is very swollen and had some crusty white build up that was difficult to remove. Treated with...

Hi, I just got some new baby chicks and I checked them all for pasty butt. All of them looked pretty good except for my 2 buff orpingtons. I gently wiped their butts with a room temperature cloth and dried them with a hair dryer 8 inches away but marshmallows butt is bare looking and a little...

We just got six pollutes last week, and one of them has recently been having problems with her vent. I thought it was pasty butt at first, so I very carefully cleaned her up and made sure to check up on her. Her vent is now swollen and she's having trouble pooping. She squats and holds her wings...

The vent looks swollen kinda its not the bump meaning it's a boy. Like the vent is sticking out. What should I do?

New chick mom here and looking for advice before anything gets worse: 12 day old Orpington, normal size. Three days ago I picked her up and thought she had a tumor on chest- realize now it was a full crop. Also at same time noticed she was straining to poop, hard a hard piece of poop stuck on...

One of my 4 two-year-old Barnevelders died suddenly yesterday. She had not exhibit any sign of sickness, her behavior and coat was fine. That prompr me to examine the rest of the flock today and even though they are all looking and acting normal they seem to all have some mild diarrhea or a sort...

Hi! Need some help figuring out what's wrong with a chicken. She's been sitting a lot and moving slow, under her vent seems to be hard and swollen (like her butt is dropping) and she has watery poop. I don't think she's egg bound I checked it didn't feel like one. She's still eating and getting...

Hi hive mind! I have a 5 day old Australorp chick who at Day 2 had a little pastey butt situation. We were able to soak it and get it cleaned up in one gentle pass. Since then, her little vent has become very swollen/enlarged and seems to give her pain. She has been trying to poop a lot, and...

I'm really worried about one of my three chicks. She is a black sex link named Cosmo and is about a month old. She hasn't grown like the other two who have full wings and are growing body feathers. Cosmo has a smaller body, small wings, and bald spots on her neck and under her wings. For the...
