Hi all. So I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger hen who has had chronic diarrhea for at least the last couple of months. It almost comes out in a stream and her vent is almost always dirty. At first I thought that that was just her, but after a little more research, I’m pretty sure she has...
Hello,
This is our first time with meat birds (but we’ve had laying hens for a few years). We have 40 Cornish Giants and they’re 4.5 weeks old living their best life in a couple pastured chicken tractors. The other day I discovered one male was getting picked on and his butt was bloody. He’s...
Hello,
I got 4 ex batts 5 weeks ago and a day after they arrived, three seemed to turn on one hen. She went up and sat on top of the coop a lot to stay out of their way and I noticed whenever she tried to eat or drink she would be chased away by any of the other three.
I used to stand at one of...
Could this be vent gleet ? We removed her from the flock last night because she just keeps losing feathers and has hardly any feathers near her vent and it’s very red there too. She has very poopy feathers around there too, we trimmed those feathers with scissors last night. There’s nothing...
My laying rescue pekin has a pretty swollen, irritated vent and I haven’t been able to find help anywhere else. She is still laying and acting relatively normal although she’s getting a little bit slower now that we are on day 3 and it isn’t looking any better. I don’t see any discharge & it...
Hi all, I have a Rhode Island Red Hybrid just under 2 years old. Yesterday morning we discovered a prolapsed vent and after doing some research we tried fixing it with honey, sugar, warm water with an anti-septic, medical talc & even a haemorrhoid cream! However after a few minutes it the...
I have a gosling that is one week old with a dirty vent. I’ve bathed her twice now. She eats drinks and poops the typical liquidy brown poop but vent stays sort of poopy all the time and there is a small bald patch right above it. I’ve attached a photo. Is this normal? What does a normal vent...
Hey y’all, I have a couple sick hens: Pepper is a redstar about 4 years old and Buttercup is a golden campine about 3 years old. I noticed that both of them are lethargic, not eating, and have poop smeared all over their vent area. I assumed they had vent gleet so I put probiotics in their...
OK. So in sick Bay today are: Olive Egger "Sweet Olive" and Wellsummer cross "Big Red", aka "mean little heifer". Olive was put in sick bay yesterday and we immediately started treatment. She also has a respiratory infection and is treated with amoxicilline for that.
Both have vent gleet. Olive...

Hi friends.
I'm running out of google searches and keep hitting dead ends.
My current scenario is a 1.5yo Golden Sexlink named Betty. She developed vent gleet and it was NASTY. She also had vent prolapse, and I have been trying to follow all other recommendations to fix both these things for...
Hello,
I have a chicken I have been treating for vent gleet and she is doing much better with the exception of her legs. We adopted her from a local chicken farmer and when she came to us we noticed that she was always sitting low to the ground. I believe this is how she eventually ended up with...
i have a chicken that has something major going on with her vent. I didn’t notice it until yesterday when I noticed some diarrhea on her feathers. I’ve inspected the whole flock within the last 2-3 weeks because we just dealt with mites. Posting a picture for better ideas. I looked up vent...
Hello everyone! I have a 24 week old BO hen who has been having severe poopy feather issues for a couple days now.
Last night I tried to wash and dry her off as best I could. This morning I was hoping to see a nice fluffy bottom but instead I found this:
(Picture included) none of my 5 other...
Could this possibly be the beginning stages of vent prolapse?
I have a 17 week old buff Orpington hen who has been acting a little off the past couple days. (Beak open, little bit of white mucous on rear feathers.)
Today at request of other members of back yard chickens I managed to get a photo...

Hey everyone.
Just this night I saw one of my hens sitting in the corner of the coop looking sad and droopy. When I picked her up I saw that she had a hard calcified lump coming out of her vent. I soaked her greatly in warm water and pulled it out. It was hard and smelled god awful. It didn't...

My 9 month old chicken was walking very slow so I went to go check on her. Upon bringing her in I noticed that she had a prolapsed vent. I gave her a bath and cleaned her up when I also noticed that she was not only swollen down there but she was also oozing white. Whenever she popped the vent...
I have a chicken with a poopy butt that I assume is vent gleet as I have de-wormed with valbazen and treated with Corid (just in case) I have given her yogurt and put acv in water, given her baths and trimmed butt feathers and no change. Going on 2 months and I’m so frustrated that I can’t seem...
