A week ago I started seeing a swollen vent with a yellow substance coming out. Was told to use blue coat to see if the other chickens would stop picking on it. Works for a bit then starts again. The chickens have started dying. Please help me to know what is going on. Thank you
I have hens laying brown eggs that won't fit into jumbo boxes and are covered in blood. They are either ISO Brown or Golden comets cause the eggs are brown. I also have Asian, Delaware and Red Leghorns. They are 9 months old so I figured the cause was first laying.
The first picture is a store...
