My gander has a pretty embarrassing issue going on with his private parts. They seem to be hanging out and he just acts like doesn't feel well. I'm attaching a picture as well. He also holds his wing down sometimes. Any thoughts on what I can do?

. Here is a picture of Ricky. The other side of his face is a little worse but I couldn't get a good pic. I've been adding ACV to his water bucket. Anything else I can do for him?
Thank you for the reply. I give him and my ducks a fresh 5 gallon bucket of water everyday. It doesn't take long for it to freeze. I'll try the ACV. His eyes look good. I'll try to get a picture of him.
I have a 15 year old goose that seems to be losing feathers under his eyes and between them. Any ideas on what is causing it? We have had a very harsh winter here in indiana. Could it be weather related?
Now that I think about it, I collected eggs about a week ago and found 3 of them in one nesting box (they use the same nesting box for some reason) covered in messy yolk. I just thought one broke and one they ate the shell. Maybe she laid an egg with no shell?
I just looked up vent gleet. This is totally what is going on with her. Thank you ten chicks!!! She is hunched, sleeps a lot (eyes closed), tucks her head under her wing constantly, extreme foul smelling poo and discharge.
I've tried to feel for an egg. I didn't feel anything. I'm a beginner chicken mom. I'll research peritonitis. I'm not sure what that is. She can't seem to walk very well.
