    Vent gleet and this thing???

    Thank you I’ll be sure to get some anti inflammatory/mineral oil positive update already! Everything looks normal now??!! Even the smell went away! I’m so surprised it just all went back in even with the crusts I saw yesterday?? It’s been 6 days since the issue started on Thursday. I tried...

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    Actually after her bath it shrank and became soft I was able to push it back in a little bit but with the crusty material I did not want to try to push it further. I’ll have to check tomorrow for the egg or lash material but I don’t feel anything “egg” hard around the area (I’d appreciate...

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock I just got home so I didn’t see her all Sunday and this morning. She didn’t eat or really drink any water in my absence but she’s active. I cannot see her vent at all really since the prolapse is covering it, the prolapse is pretty firm and hard and she pushed back when...

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    Update: Piper is eating more and drinking, she has a lot more energy and her tail feathers are sticking up. She is eager to go back into the coop but I want to give her more time and I am concerned about this possible prolapse? After I gave her her first bath on Thursday I noticed this bubble, I...

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    Thank you so much for the advice. I made sure the other chickens have layer feed and oyster shells too. Piper seemed to have a bit more energy today than yesterday so I’ll update if needed thank you again!

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    Sorry I realized i didn’t answer all of your questions when I first replied, the phone screen is so small I should use my computer! food is dumor starter grower feed. Treats have been scratch, dry and moist mealworms. I do have oyster shells and layer feed stocked and will put some out for...

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    She is only 18 weeks or so, she is not laying eggs yet. The discharge is more green/yellow now and her cloaca was leaking when I took the photo. She is still on dumor starter/grower. The piece that came out I didn’t keep but some more solid stuff came out, but it was a lot thinner and smaller...

    Vent gleet and this thing???

    After giving my poor hen her first epsom salt bath after discovering she has vent gleet, this came out of her?? Not sure what it is or if it is a symptom of vent gleet. I’m a first time chicken owner and I only have 3. I’m pretty sure she has vent gleet. I noticed my Piper not being her usual...

    Finally got a coop for my flock!

    Now to build in the chicken run! Took a few hours to dig into the ground to make it level and then a day to cut the pieces and put the frame together. We used wood from an old run and new pieces to replace what couldn’t be salvaged. My partner is very proud of his work, it was his first time...

    Finally done and moved the girls in! It’s so cute and I’m so proud of my renovation, I’ve never had such an accomplishment like this. I will be moving the thermometer inside, I just thought it looked cute lol.

    Finally got a coop for my flock!

    Yes I’m very lucky, I plan to throw a “baby shower” when my hens start laying and invite everyone that’s helped (or listened to me talk their ear off about my chickens lol). I only have 3 in my flock and yes the original owner of the coop was very wary of snakes and other predators so it has...

    Finally got a coop for my flock!

    It is my first flock of chickens and they were unexpected so it has been a steep learning curve for me. I was not satisfied with any of the prefab coops, I do not have any wood working skills and dealt with a difficult chicken/coop seller, so it was a stressful process. I found a custom made...

    Finch Self-Care App

    I used it when I was having a difficult time in life, it's so cute and motivating. It helped me out a lot during that time!
