    Help, bloody egg/vent?

    I have a hen who seems to be trying to pass a bloody egg or something. Does anyone know what is going on here and what I should do? She’s drinking water with vitamins added. She seems to be straining. We are building a separate place for her in the coop right now so she can get some space...

    My little hen and her vent - help

    Good morning. This is my first post. I am attaching photos. Not sure if this is gleet or something else. Peace's poops all look normal but her fluffy down feathers are missing and there is encrusted yellow/white on lower portion of her vent. I have been giving epsom salt baths and O3 cream...

    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...

    Prolapse vent with scab?

    I’m dealing with our first prolapse and we’re on day 3. She still seems fine except for the prolapse (perky, wanting food, etc). I’ve been doing all the stuff: soak. Epsom. Sugar. Hydrocortisone. Vetricyn. It will stay in a bit longer now, but it still pops out when she poops. It was initially...

    Having trouble sexing adult Coturnix Quail

    So I've hatched out a few batches of Coturnix Quail, I have varying ages now- all at least 7 weeks old up to 20 weeks old. Some are from other breeders, and the last batch was from eggs of my own. For my first hatch, at about 7-8 weeks I was able to vent sex using the foam that males produce...

    Vent Gleet Help!!

    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...

    Do I have to clean dried poop off of chicks butt if vent is clearly open?

    We recently got three new chicks, a Rhode Island Red, Golden Comet, and a Light Brahama. Our light brahma has had poop stuck on his down feathers below his vent which I can see opening and closing when I touch it, should I try and clean that poop off or can I just leave him. I assume they get...

    Hen with dirty vent, mustard colour poos. Advice pls!

    First time chicken keeper, so please bear with me! :confused: I collected 3 rescue hens 5 days ago - so I am assuming they are around 18 months old. One of them clearly has a health problem, but I am not sure what it is. She appears to have no feather loss apart from her tail and around her...

    Henrietta clenching her bottom

    Hello, New to the chicken world and lacking in appropriate chicken terminology, so I apologize in advance. We have a very pretty silver laced Wyandotte hen, 22 weeks, and she has been extra loud this week (I thought it was from the heat, high 80s/90s), but then the past few days I saw what...

    Hi all, I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger named Jennie who has recently been re-introduced to our other two hens following an injury from our rooster that she had to recover from. Today when I was holding her I realized that she was leaking a clear, odorless fluid from her vent. It...

    Silkie Hen Messy Vent Feathers

    Hi guys, I'm attaching photo(s) of my silkie hens butt feathers. I gave her a bath 3-4 weeks ago since she had so much poop built up on her feathers and now it looks yucky again. This time almost stringy looking. All my chickens have been dewormed and treated for mites about 2 months ago. What...

    Vent Gleet

    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...

    Please help! Is this a prolapsed vent?

    This poult unfortunately came down with vent gleet quite young. I finished treating that about a month ago, but her vent has kept needing constant applications of vaseline or neosporin otherwise it gets crusty/scabby. I realized I don't know what a "healthy" vent is supposed to look...
