Hi thankyou for your advice. I had trimmed her feathers but then poo was getting stuck to her butt now her new feathers are in but she's still getting some stuck although poo is normal
I posted 6 months ago my chicken was attacked by another chicken and her but lost alot of feathers she developed vent gleet and needed antibiotics. Update she still has poo on her new growth feathers. And the feathers around her butt have never quite come back. She still bleeds around where it...
She does have very soft shells this one chicken. She had a pecking injury and never fully recovered and had poo butt since, no compost around. But they have wet grass lately cause it's been so rainy, I did have one chick died 2 months ago unexpectedly just stopped eating and drinking and died...
Hi my chicken is 2 years old and had a vent gleet problem for 3 months almost. Today I found her in the nesting box hunched over. She's still eating but not preening and I've sprayed her bottom with vetericyn spray but she's giving up and pretending to be okay but her comb us flopped over and...
It looks fine she's pooing normalish but because she's pecked out and I've trimmed a lot of feathers she's still getting white poo stuck around the vent but it's no longer swollen or red
She is laying but the eggs are very weak and they all eat the yolk inside but her butt is a little swollen still. I have given her so many baths and trimmed some feathers
Any one help. She still gets poo stuck on her bum because she's missing feathers and it's still runny even though I've done everything on this forum for about 2 months nearly
Ok great thank you. Im from Australia and live right in the middle of the suburbs so not too many predators at all but I will be putting chicken wire around that front part
So I've just made a bigger space for my girls using pvc pipes and a tarp to cover them but even though I have tied it as much as I can. It is flapping around and the chickens first night in it is tonight and it rocked when they jumped up and I'm worried they hate the tarp sound. Will they get...
Thank you for that advice. Unfortunately she didn't make it. I knew she wasn't going to when she stopped drinking and eating and when I tried to force her something she just turned away :( surprised she made it this far. But it's like she just gave up in the end
I've been feeding just grit calcium and layer pellets , she's 2 years old. She stopped laying cause she was molting then laid a couple and then she was bullying the other chicken so I sperated her and she stopped laying and hadn't laid since then went back to the flock laid and then stopped and...
I have been giving her shell grit along with calcium pills crushed up in the food but shes not touching it anymore. Every 2 days I've been giving her baths for 20mins in epsom salt and massaging the area
She is very lethargic and now she's falling asleep in the water bowl. Its like she's given...
Hi my chicken was bullying a other one so I've had her separated. In that time she has become egg bound. I gave her a bath and calcium and still she hasn't laid the egg, there is nothing else that seems to be wrong with her only that she keeps not laying. She stopped eating and drinking 5 days...
Yes the infection is all cleared up now. I have been giving her yogurt and she's looking alot better no more runny poo but it's still sticking to the feathers really bad and I have to bathe her almost every day and it's been 2 weeks so ive stopped using the antifungal cream but the bum feathers...
Unfortunately I don't have a vet around willing to treat or look at a chicken, I had to call one from an hour away when she originally had an infection but it's very difficult
Her crop is normal , everything else seems to be fine just her feathers keep getting poo and stick together. I have been applying topically and orally been giving probiotics and ACV
