Thanks, this is very helpful. I appreciate it.

Yes, it does sound like it has to do with the injury in the case of your hen. Is there an avian specific probiotic that you recommend? Are they easy to find? Sometimes, when it comes to products that are recommended for chickens, I can find them very easily and sometimes I can't find them...

I think I am finally getting it worked out. First though, I have to stress that this isn't messy pooping and the issue isn't the poop at all, it's the urates and urine that drip down, get her feathers all wet, the feathers eventually fell off due being wet with urine all the time, and now she...

One of my hens is chronically low on calcium and used to always lay eggs with super weak shells. I have been giving her big doses of liquid calcium supplements and that has really helped when nothing else did. Should I continue to given them to her all year round, even when she's laying a lot...

Here's a picture of her poop.

Yes, I took her to a vet a month ago. The vet who is listed as a bird vet and treats chickens regularly. That is how I got the antibiotics and the nystatin. The vet was not certain what was causing the problem and my hen's condition did not improve after the anitbiotics and nystatin. I could go...

I am fairly new to caring for chickens and I have a 16 month old hen who has symptoms that look like vent gleet. I first discovered the issue two months ago and since then she has been through a course of both nystatin and antibiotics plus every home remedy I could find on the internet (epsom...
