    hen leaking urates - looks like vent gleet - can you help me?

    Did you ever figure it out? My hen does this too. I've done the all natural remedies and baths but it keeps coming back. No bad smell though, and no behavior changes. Are some hens just messy poopers lol

    I'm new, that's my disclaimer, but it seems to me that it wouldn't be bad for them because late layers happen in nature.

There is no bad smell, but, compared to pictures, it looks like gleet. Just not as severe.. I've had...

    They have never laid since I've owned them. They aren't molting. They were terribly infested with mites and lice. That's taken care of and their wattles have grown larger and reddened up.
