‼️HELP NEEDED‼️ Chicken possibly has vent gleet?

[EasterChickens]

Hello everyone,

I have a 3 year and 9 month old leghorn hen who has seemingly been going through vent gleet. It all started about 3 days ago when i started seeing a “messy” butt. I pulled her in today and smelled her butt. As a result, her butt smelled like human urine. The color of those messy substances stuck to her are yellow and mixed with poop as well. She has been showing light signs of lethargy but is still eating and pretty active. I did cut away the messy parts of her butt to help it. I don’t think it could be egg bounding but what are your guys thoughts?

Down below are the photos of her physical appearance and “messy” butt. As well as photos of her newly trimmed butt

Sincerely,
Valerie

What feed is she on? If it is vent gleet, apple cider vinegar in her water would help

Hello CloneFly, thank you so much for your reply! She currently is on the “Purina Layena Crumbles Chicken Food” as her feed. I just attached a photo of her feed below. However, i do feed her treats on occasion. Would you consider her as having vent gleet? Also, how would i add apple cider vinegar to her water without disturbing the other members of the flock with the adjusted water?

I am by no means an expert but it is possible that is vent gleet.
have a look at this.

Looks like they are recommending simple anti-fungal cream.

Ive never experienced a vent gleet, but i did deal with an infected foot. what we did was give our chicken a warm bath with epsomsalts and lavender in it. that may help relieve some of the stress and any inflammation.

Hello RoyalChick, thank you so much for your reply! Would athlete’s foot cream/antifungal work? How would i apply it? Topically or orally?
