    Help! Something sticking out of Vent

    Hi, I’ve noticed something hanging out of my chickens vent. It seems to be shriveled and partially fleshy. The surrounding feathers were yellowish as well so I was thinking some type of vent gleet but that didn’t really explain the thing sticking out the vent. So I have her in an epsom salt bath...

    Do Austrolorps/Amaracaunas usually have poopy butts?

    We have two Easter egger hens (mix of amaurcana, australorp, and possibly buff orpington) with a lot of fecal matter below their vent (not on). I think their feathers are catching it. Is this normal or something to worry about? Should I trim their butt feathers?

    Inflamed vent?

    My week old gosling suddenly has an inflamed vent! Does anyone have any idea why this is or what it means? It's not pasty-butt.

    Stringy/squiggly thing coming from vent along with discharge

    Hello! Noticed today that my 1.5 year old (what I believe to be) Rhode Island Red was lethargic today. When I took a closer look saw what looked like clear mucus was dangling from her vent area. At bed time I took a closer look, it was yellowish mucus and a stringy thing (pictured). What is it...

    Does this chick look sick? Vent Gleet?

    Hello everyone! I’m new to raising chicks myself, but I’ve grown up around chicks so when one of my babies started getting pasty butt, I treated it with warm water like I was taught. A few of my chicks had pasty butt as well, and after being cleaned once or twice, it resolved itself. This one...

She texted me asking about this one chick in particular that doesn't seem to have a vent... there is a small hole above where the vent typically is and that's how the chick poops and all. Problem is, the hole seems...

    Injury to vent

    My salmon faverolle has an injury to her vent after being mounted a bit aggressively by my cockerel. It's a cut in the corner, a little bit on the inside. I've cleaned around the area (and separated him, which he's not happy about!), but she's always had quite loose stools so I have no idea...

    Yellow chalky discharge around vent

    Details: Several weeks ago I brought home three adult hens, two Blue Andalusians and a Plymouth Rock. They are all around 1.5 years old and molting. The Plymouth Rock has only layed one egg so far, I assumed this is because she had bumbles on both feet and has been recovering since I removed...
