History
My two year old ISA Brown hen, Candy, has had persistent vent gleet for a few months. Other than a messy bum and slightly thin egg shells, she was acting normal. I added acidified copper sulfate to her water, bathed her, and gave probiotics last month, but the vent gleet continued...
One of my little girls is molting hard for the first time, and her immune system is down. She ended up getting what initially seemed to be an impacted or slow crop but became fungal (I can see white stuff in her throat). I have the nystatin already, I just don't know what to dose her with as...

Hi,
Our 5-yr old Ameraucana has had sour crop for some time now. We have tried massaging her crop, emptying her and keeping her put up, but she just goes back out & tanks back up again. It's so bad that the feathers have rubbed off of the bottom of her belly and it's getting sore. We have...
