Hello everyone,

I have a 3 year and 9 month old leghorn hen who has seemingly been going through vent gleet. It all started about 3 days ago when i started seeing a “messy” butt. I pulled her in today and smelled her butt. As a result, her butt smelled like human urine. The color of those messy substances stuck to her are yellow and mixed with poop as well. She has been showing light signs of lethargy but is still eating and pretty active. I did cut away the messy parts of her butt to help it. I don’t think it could be egg bounding but what are your guys thoughts?

Down below are the photos of her physical appearance and “messy” butt. As well as photos of her newly trimmed butt

Sincerely,
Valerie

Yeah it really does look like vent gleet I have a hen like that that I am treating.

Hello CloneFly, thank you so much for your reply! She currently is on the “Purina Layena Crumbles Chicken Food” as her feed. I just attached a photo of her feed below. However, i do feed her treats on occasion. Would you consider her as having vent gleet? Also, how would i add apple cider vinegar to her water without disturbing the other members of the flock with the adjusted water?

It really looks like she has vent gleet to me.

Doesn't look like gleet to me.. just looks like she needs a bath. Some hens need it while others don't.

What feed is she on? If it is vent gleet, apple cider vinegar in her water would help

you have to make sure not to put apple cider vinegar in metal waters because they say The acid can eat at the metal and poison chickens.
