    Left Eye swollen shut, looking for advice

    Thanks so much for the help yall. I couldn't get terramycin in time, but I had vetricyn on hand and did one application. It didn't look like there was any puss to remove and she was so stressed out that the vetricyn was all I could manage. It's been 2 days and her eye seems to be improving...

    Left Eye swollen shut, looking for advice

    My 2 year old hen has a pretty bad eye problem. I'm pretty sure its from bullying. I'm looking for advice on how to diagnose and treat her eye. The photos from the coop are from 24 hours ago. The photos in the kennel are from tonight, it seems like the swelling has gotten slightly worse.

    First prolapse / not sure what I'm looking at / seeking advice

    Update: Plum Plums is doing alright. I've been keeping the prolapse moisturized with bag balm. She's been getting a daily 630 mg Calcium Citrate since Saturday and epsom salt baths 2x/day during which I try to gently break up the poop that has dried on the prolapse. She is laying an egg every...

    Extreme molting, impacted crop, and frostbite. Help!

    Her crop was full this morning when she came off the roost and it has remained big and full all day. She's also making some weird gurgling sounds, like it might be effecting her breathing.

    Extreme molting, impacted crop, and frostbite. Help!

    My 3 yr old buff brahma molted insanely hard and fast. This morning I brought her inside because of the cold and I'm afraid she got way too cold overnight. I'm dealing with two primary issues. 1) I think her crop is impacted. I got her to take some olive oil and I've been massaging it firmly...

    Poopy butt / infection on otherwise healthy hen. Not sure what to do.

    She gets a mixture of free range and green mountain layer pellets. I'll check her crop in the morning and look into the topical products. Thank you!

    Poopy butt / infection on otherwise healthy hen. Not sure what to do.

    My 1.5 yr old rhode island red has often had a poopy butt, and we would bath her periodically to clean it off over the last year. Lately she has stopped growing feathers in the area under her vent so the poopy butt isn't as much of an issue but it looks swollen and irritated. Otherwise she acts...

    Here are another couple photos where you can see how swollen she is below her vent. It kinda of looks like there's a bulge down there.

    Is this just a case of vent gleet? How can I be sure?
