    Vent gleet or bacterial infection?

    Thanks for the reply! She’s not laying but neither is another NHR in my flock bc of short days. I felt to see if she’s egg bound and she is not. There is an odor. It’s kind of nasty, not super yeasty. Her crop is emptying.

    Vent gleet or bacterial infection?

    Hens sleeping in the nesting box. Cold?

    Antibiotics and liquid food for sour crop?!

    We took our chicken with sour crop to a new bird vet and she hydrated our chicken then sent her home with antibiotics and liquid food. Isn’t sour crop a yeast bloom and doesn’t she likely have a blockage so wouldn’t require food? I wasn’t able to ask these questions because my husband took her...

    Available: 8-week old New Hampshire Red Rooster, San Francisco Bay Area

    Originally from Cackle Hatchery, we’re pretty sure this New Hampshire Red chicken is a rooster. He’s very friendly and well socialized with children and dogs - we raised him from a chick. We’re located in the East Bay, near Oakland in California. Anyway, he needs a new home as we’re only allowed...
