Have one bird with vent gleet. From what I read its a fungus. How have other people treated? Have seen suggestions for adding yogurt to the diet, athletes foot cream and yeast infection treatments. What have you guys found that works best? Thanks.
So we have been at this chicken keeping thing for a couple weeks now. So all birds are still very new to the area and each other. The two black austrolorps, a buff orp and prod red are all doing great. Laying eggs and sleeping all together and acting as chickens should. My brown leghorn is not...
