Thought I should update and say that this hen recovered with antibiotics and worming.

So am I. Hopefully others will read this and see that not all gleet is yeast.

I read it and appreciate the info! I have a leghorn that has gleet, the antibiotics aren't working and the prior yeast infection treatment didn't work. She is about to get wormed!

I have wazine but am not sure if that will be a good start.

Quote: Wazine would be better than no wormer, that's for sure, but you might want to invest in some Safeguard or Valbazen.

Hi @casportpony! Could you provide a newbie like me with more information on the different types of gleet? I posted earlier tonight that I noticed watery/white poop from one of my girls. Just went to make sure everyone was roosting fine and noticed got a little more going on than I thought. I think her vent looks similar to the pictures you posted but it's hard to tell with all her feathers. I'll be able to pluck and clean her in the morning to get a better look, I'd just like to learn more about gleet tonight and all I'm finding is yeast. Thanks!
