Does ACV prevent gleet???

[salt and pepper]

I put ACV in my waterers every day, and was wondering if it prevents gleet? and what else does it help with? Thanks!

ACV doesn't completely prevent gleet, but the acidity in it can help keep the digestive tract healthy.
Good luck!

Does a slightly messy butt mean gleet?

 

[BuffOrpington88]

No, it is okay for the droppings to be a little runnier than usual, especially when it is very hot or when they are under stress.

OK, thank you. it's not hot, and she shouldn't be stressed, but I guess it's normal, it's defiantly not nasty, by looking at her, i didn't even know she had some stuff in her feathers. She act normal, and is still laying well, so i guess there is no reason to worry. Thank you!

Here is a link to something that may help. I talk to and visit a lot of poultry chat places and vet places and I trust these people as I also have been around raising chickens for many years. Just have to be accurate with the symptoms... give it a shot, just another avenue to seek. Vent Gleet - Health Care - Chicken Forum & Poultry Forum - Urban Chickens

Thank you for the link, after reading that I'm pretty sure she just got a slightly messy bum. lol
