My chick which had swollen vent is about 9 weeks old now and is all normal! here is what i did: If your chick has pasty butt clean immediately. I then applied cortisone cream to it. Prep H is filled with too many toxins and many poultry experts suggest against it. If your chick is being pecked...
hey guys! So this might be a really really stupid question but i’m very curious! so one of my chicks (4 weeks old pullets) is a very very social lady. She’s always begging to come out of the brooder anytime we are around. Every time we put our hand in the brooder she comes running to it. At...
also when the swelling appeared to be going down on my chick i stopped putting cream on her and cleaning her so her butt could just heal and the feathers would get a chance to grow back
mines about three weeks old and it’s all healed! i used cortisone cream (or vasaline) and applied it to the swollen area and gave her a warm butt bath every day to clear the clogged areas and eventually it went down and she didn’t get picked on. I would recommend though separating her until the...
Hey everyone!! I just thought i’d update y’all again! She is doing amazing! She’s about 2 weeks now and her feathers around her butt are growing back and the redness is just about gone. She has put on a few more ounces (thanks to the egg, tofu and nutri drench) Shes at the young chicken stage...

thank you for your concern! She is no longer being picked on (because the swelling is getting better) and is doing a good job fitting in with the others, like @Wyorp Rock said i didn’t see a point to keep her away from the others if she wasn’t being bullied or pecked at! I just wanted to thank...
she’s doing much better! her butt is starting to heal up and she hasn’t had pasty butt in 2 days! her feathers are starting to come in and we r just trying to get her to gain weight now as the others are three times her weight. She is doing such a good job managing for her self and fighting her...
i had her separated but noticed she wouldn’t stop squealing and wasn’t eating. i decided it was best to put her back with the others. the swelling has gone down and as of today i haven’t witnessed any pecking 🤞
thank you very much you have no idea how much this means!! this whole thing is very stressful as i’ve already gotten attached to them 😭❤️ i’m so glad yours are doing okay, this is very encouraging thanks again!
hi all i just thought i would update you on miss lucy! She seems to be still thriving and still being her adorable self. I read about the benefits of prep H for a swollen vent so i’m going to give that a try. As for her size i’m going to give a few drops of nutri drench a try. I woke up this...
