lol.

Mine seems to have an infection around her vent not internally. Which I am relieved about (?) After cleaning it I remembered that she did have a small sore below her vent when I bathed her pre-show last month. I do not know the cause of that since she has not had mites or lice. Maybe a splinter form the roost?

I have cleaned it and I am treating with L&S Duramycin combo.

Do some research on vent gleet. If it looks like this, that's what it might be.

It doesn't look like that at all, not swollen or anything... I spoke to a chicken friend and she said that our rooster may have punctured her somewhere?? I guess we'll look for that...

My pullets infection is around the outside of the vent. Mostly just below. She is feeling better since I cleaned and added wound spray and isolated her. She was just preening and eating a few minutes ago. I noticed she was also much thinner than when I showed her a few weeks ago. I made her my infamous "Sick Chick Cookies" she gobbled them all up!
