    Hen with poopy butt

    So, I have a hen (just turned 1 year old) with runny poop, and I'm not sure what's causing it, but wondering if I should trim off her poopy butt feathers? It first started happening last fall after I gave the chickens some apple pulp from my juicer, and then happened intermittently throughout...

    Poopy Butt on week old Chick - Advise pls!

    4 chicks came home last week, they were 2 days old when I brought them home. Two had poopy butt. Warm water to break it up slowly. Next day just one had it. But it has persisted now on that one for 4 days. I've added neosporin after cleaning her as her vent looks puffy. I'm being careful...

    Boarding chickens with Poopy Vent, Purple poop? Not getting better...:(

    About two weeks ago, P and K got extremely stressed out, (I put them outside in a dog crate while I was cleaning) and didn't truly calm down for about 12 hours. A few days later, the poopy vents started. Sloppy poop on the run floor, poop encrusted around the vent and in the feathers, won't...

    My Chick Won’t Let Me Clean Her Pasty Butt

    I have a chick that has a little bit of pasty butt and I have been cleaning her and watching her and when i clean her she won’t hold still so I can’t get all the poop off. Eventually she just pooped on me but there is still a little gunk on her butt. It doesn’t cover her vent and since i got her...

It started off, I noticed some poopy butts. This is abnormal for our flock. Then, I noticed a buff orpington (3yrsold) standing on her...

    Poopy butt on our hen!

    Our sweet little hen, Rebecca, has had poopy butt for a while, I didn’t think much of it until i watched her poop (I know that sounds odd, but, you know..) she has so much poop on her butt that you can’t even see! We tried cleaning it with a toothbrush once, but it came right back. Not sure what...

    Chick is lethargic and has an empty crop

    Good morning. My little chick “Roo” is very lethargic today and will hardly pick at his food. His crop is empty/squishy compared to my other chicks, he has a poopy butt, and he is wobbly on his feet with low-hanging wings. Any ideas of what could be wrong and what I can do to help?

    Floppy Comb, weight loss, poopy butt...

    I noticed last week that Priscilla's butt was oddly poopy - very wet and her feathers were a mess. I hosed her butt off and thought that would be it. 2 days later, the same thing but also noticed her comb seemed to be a little floppier than normal. I went out of town for a few days and this...

    Roosting issues

    Even though there was lots of room on the perches, my chickens refused to share them. Often there would be one chicken on the top roost, three on the bottom, and the rest of the hens would try sleeping outside. It was very frustrating moving them into the coop each night. So, I downsized my...

    Poopy egg and poopy butts???

    Anyone know why I'd be getting a poopy egg? It's only this hen. I could understand the occasional poopy egg in the old set up as it was small and semi muddy but this one they've only been in a week and the nestboxes are perfectly clean. No other hen has this issue. Yet hers are not only a little...

    Poopy butt?

    A bunch of my chickens have poopy butts and I was just wondering what some possible causes were. I only just recently noticed it, like within the past week or two. They are all acting perfectly fine and eating, drinking, etc., nothing unusual. They stopped laying for a while for fall/winter and...
