My hen Minerva had a vent prolapse last fall (I posted at the time) which she recovered from, thankfully. But basically since that time, she consistently has a messy bottom. Mostly white/crusty and I suppose poopy. We regularly clean her up, but I’m sure it’s very uncomfortable for her. She’s otherwise normal (eating, drinking, exploring), though I’m not 100% sure whether she’s laying - hard to tell in the winter and with our other hens also laying.
Any ideas on what to do for her? I’ve tried treating as vent gleet with an antifungal cream, and giving a bit of yogurt on occasion (probiotic treat?). I’m not sure what might be the underlying issue here.
