Help Vent glee caused by fermented 3 scratch?

[acp63]

can fermented 3 grain scratch cause vent fleet? I think part of my flock has vent glee hens have the typica butts and are laying around not much energy 1 Hen i separated from the flock in a cage and feed her apple cider viniger fresh water and electrolytes and she passed over night.
Should I stop fermented feed which I thought was healthy and treat the flock with Epson salts in water?

Hi @acp63 Welcome To BYC

I'm sorry for your loss.

If you suspect the fermented feed is spoiled, then throw it out. Provide fresh clean, plain water and fresh dry feed.

Do you have any other chickens that are sick right now? You mention vent gleet - do you have any photos?

Here's some very good information on vent gleet https://www.tillysnest.com/2012/12/vent-gleet-prevention-and-treatment-html/

The question I have is does fermented feed cause vent glee?

There's no way to really answer this question - too many variables on fermenting.
If the feed was moldy or spoiled, yes, it could possibly cause vent gleet - it can also cause a chicken to get sick or die.

Here are a few common causes of vent gleet:
-ingesting moldy or spoiled food-especially corn
-contaminated water
-sour crop
-unsanitary conditions
-imbalance of the normal occurring bacteria in the digestive system also known as the normal flora
-can occur after the use of oral antibiotics
-mating with an infected hen
