Hello,
I'm a new chicken owner. Both my hens have what looks like vent gleet- white stinky paste all over their vents and down their butt feathers and prolapses. They are eating, laying and roaming around normal, but their prolapses seem to be getting worse. I've been feeding them probiotics...
Towards the end of may my kikiriki hen layed a soft egg. I gave her a layer feed that was “boosted” on oyster shells and vitamins to promote stronger eggs. She didn’t lay again till 4 days. The egg was rubbery this time but she suffered a “blowout” I read forums on here and seen sugar , honey...
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...
I have no idea if this is relating to the mite infestation we have right now. I've been treating them once every other day to not completely stress my hens out but today I was cleaning our older hen's butt because of poop and saw her vent like this.
It's not bleeding she is still going to the...
We have a coop of mixed breeds, all purchased at the same time from the same poultry farm. They were all born at the same time, and raised together. We have red sex links, azures, and noirrans.
The red is sex links and noirrans have very irritated bums. Azures are fine. All of the girls have...
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?
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...
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...
Hi all!
Back in March I got some new hens that hatched last November, making them 8 months old now! I got two gold dutch bantams and two polish bantams. One of my dutch bantams, Gertrude, has a prolapsed vent. I noticed this last night before putting the flock to bed. Her butt was covered in...
One of my Bantam Cochin hens seems to have an issue I can’t resolve. I have already had her separated out and on a round of antibiotics. Her temperament is usually very docile so she seems to be doing ok. Same symptoms as last time, her vent looks a little swollen. Some stuck poop on one...
My barred rock is suffering from the following:
Chickens butt is covered in wet feces, white secretions, blood, and a clump of maggots gathered around her vent, that also happens to be bulging when she strains to poop, blood, feces and maggots fall.
First noticed her droppings, with watery...
Got 5 Lavender Orpington chicks when they were 2 days old. One of the chicks had a vent that I think was prolapsed from the moment I got her (online, overnight shipped day of birth.) I did all of the things that the feed store, this site and other forums have recommended. (soak bootie, witch...
Hi y'all! I'm posting for a friend who just hatched out some chicks last week. 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...
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...
Y’all please don’t roast me.
I have a 3.5 week old Wyandotte chick that I’ve been battling what I think is vent gleet.
I noticed it 4-5 days ago and thought it was pasty butt, but after two days of that I realized all of what I’m seeing is white. Its vent was bulging and swollen so I thought...
Hi everyone,
I've got a 6 month old Emden goose female who has some blood near her vent. After picking her up and looking her over as well as checking her vent she is pink and there's only blood on her feathers. I checked their coop and there's a tiny bit of blood in there but nothing massive...
What is up with my hen. She's almost 2 so I understand it may be a molt but I'm not sure. Her bum area is red and warm to the touch. I looked all over her body for bugs and found maybe 2 lice so I treated her for that even tho I don't think that's the issue. She had this issue 6 months ago and I...
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...
I need help trying to figure out what condition my chicken has so I can research and hopefully find some remedy. I’ve tried to describe what I see but I’m just not finding something similar. She hasn’t been laying eggs, she did like 2-3 months ago. Her butt area seems like she is about to lay an...
