vent issue

My head hen is usually a creamy white colour, but her bum feathers look absolutely horrible. She has had similar issues in the past but they usually clear up on their own, however I have never seen her look this bad. Physically, she's fine - fat, eats and drinks plenty, runs around - but her...

My 5 week old chick has had this problem where its vent leaks white liquid non-stop for two weeks. I've treated it for vent gleet because although that problem affects older chickens, I thought the symptoms fit. The treatment was epson salt baths, anti-fungal cream, and no antibiotics. After 10...

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...

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 all and thank you in advance for your advices. our 7 month silkie started breathing with open mouth ( no sound or foul odor) for the last 2 days. she was lethargic yesterday but seems more active today, eventhough she was laying with closed eyes a few times today too.. she has weird...

Anyone know what this maybe and how I can treat it, I’m suspecting something along mites but the weather is getting nicer so that might have something to do with it too? She hasn’t lost an appetite and her egg laying is normal, the vent isn’t blocked and seems normal as well as her poop.

I have a nine month old cuckoo maran who is definitely having an issue with laying/pooping. Over the last week or so I have found a couple shell-less eggs (not just soft shelled, there was absolutely no shell). More recently I found a couple almost scrambled egg looking poops, but I couldn't...
