So after you told me about the flies I freaked out, I'm a first time chicken owner. I had my daughter help me, I took a small box cutter ready for anything. She had half of a fingernail of tried poop on her vent. I had to cut it off with the box cutter. Afterwards I soaked her for 15 minutes and...
That's what her bottom looked like when I got her, I kind of figured something was not right with the smell. As my other chickens don't smell like that. So that's when I did some research. When I soak her the area below the vent gets red but fades. It looks like extremely dried poo on the under...
I have been giving her warm Epsom salt baths every day steady for a 5 days now. Probiotics every day in her feed. I've been giving her Dumor layer feed. She also free ranges. When I got her two weeks ago I noticed a really stinky smell...her butt feathers were all yucky and she stunk. So I...
Hi everyone, I've recently gotten a Easter Egger. The woman I got her from didn't know she had vent gleet. I started treating her a week ago this past sunday August 11th. She took off into the woods only after two bottom soaks and some bacterial spray. I finally got her to come home this last...
They are all doing fantastic even my little runt one that lost most toes and has a nub. We named her chipper and she is the sweetest she will rest her neck on your shoulder and snuggle. All 5 are in the shed with their mom and come out to graze and swim at our pond :)
Doing ok I guess, when they were 4 days old my girls and I let them play in some water and to dry them off I let my girls blow dry them. Three ended up getting blisters and I treated the blisters with aloe and cleaned it 3 times daily with Epson salt and put triple antibiotic meds on the feet...
A couple popped and a few went down on their own. There are no more blisters on any of them most are getting scabs on them. Once I started using the triple antibiotic ointment it started helping allot quickly. I wish I would have used it right away.
I soaked their feet today and let them all run around about an hour they loved it,i hope it does some good. I'm pretty positive that some of them will loose some toes. One forsure it's black :( this has definitely been hard on me I feel so horrible
