    How do I treat a hen with really bad vent gleet?

    One of my hens have been suffering with vent gleet for a while and I just read online to give her yogurt with apple cider vinigar and molasses and I was just wondering if that will work and also how long to give them to her. Thanks!

    Cockrel shaking head on one side

    Anyone used Harka-Mectin on chickens for lice?

    Iv just put 2 drops of this stuff on each of my birds, but I'm not sure if I need to put more drops on as its meant to be for pigeons. Also do I chuck out the eggs for a certain amount of days?
