We know it is not being egg bound or vent prolapse because she is not at the laying age yet, and we are not sure what a lice/mite infestation looks like. Here are a few pictures.
Thanks for your quick reply. I did applied some antibiotic Mupircocin ointment (for children use) on her vent and the big sore for the past two days. I also wiped her vent with alcohol before I apply the ointment. I will take some pictures later.
Help! My pullet is opening her mouth and breathing weirdly. Her face is getting yellowish, and her vent has a bump on it. She is eating less and not very active. When she poops, it gets on her feathers. Is this a respitory problem?
One of the pullets in my flock has started to open her mouth and breath weirdly. She also is eating less and her vent has a small bloody sore. I'm starting to get worried. Does anybody know what is happening?
I just started a small backyard flock and make my own food, but have run out of molasses. I have been wondering if I can use ground milk chocolate as a temporary substitute for molasses. Also, does anybody here no if chickens like rice?
