    How Come No One Will Help?

    This has puzzled me for 10 months…Literally. In fall 2020, my hens molted. However, one of my hens didn’t grow any feathers back on her neck and shoulder area. I saw some lice and treated with DE and Manna Pro Lice Spray. She never grew those feathers back!!! Then another hen had the exact...

    Egg bound, vent gleet, or??

    Advice appreciated! My chicken seemed fine then suddenly I noticed today her crop and under her vent were bulging. Either I didn’t notice anything sooner or it came on suddenly. It looks like her feathers are missing or just spread out a bit from the bulging, she has green/yellow diarrhea and...

    Possible Vent Gleet or Other Issue-Chicken Can't Walk!

    On Sunday evening, we found one of our hens under the nesting boxes. She was sitting with her legs out in front of her. We pulled her out and gave her water to drink and she gulped it down. We assumed she was just majorly dehydrated which was preventing her from being able to use her legs. After...

    Vent Gleet or Something Else?

    This is my first time raising chicks; I work at a farm so we're raising around 300 which are about five weeks old now. Some of the chicks have this whitish clumping stuff on their butts. I'm not sure if it's diarrhea or something else or if it's related to feather wounds (we've had some issues...

    Mysteriously Messy Bum

    Everyone knows that one of the telltale signs of a healthy hen is a nice fluffy bottom. I recently noticed my 21 month old ISA brown hen has a weirdly messy bottom. Here's the thing: it's not right around her vent but actually under it by a couple inches. Upon checking her vent itself, it looked...

    Is this severe vent gleet?

    This started a few weeks ago with my hen. I noticed she was smelly so I took a look at her vent and noticed some cheese/egg looking substance crusted on/around her vent. I cleaned it off and after learning about vent gleet I applied anti-fungal cream. She was fine for a while but now it has come...
