Hen with sour crop, vent gleet AND worms - help

[azygous]

There's a chance she's backed up from dead worms. You could do a mild flush. Later, you can do a hard core macho flush if the first one doesn't work. Both are perfectly safe.

For a start, mix one teaspoon molasses in a fourth of a cup of warm water and give it to her to drink on her own as her only water source. Chickens like the sweet taste, so she should drink it all.

For the big flush, we'll go into that later if this one doesn't work.

Hope your weekend is going well. So she drank majority of the concoction as she was penned separately but near the others. By afternoon she was antsy so I let her out to free range a bit and she seemed a bit more mobile and up. She went to roost - still earlier than usual and under where she roosts in morning I noticed some moosh poop nothing spectacular but her rear end was quite messy. Soaked her in epsom bath, cleaned feathers - removed what gunk I could from her vent but their is stuff on one side of vent that is so stuck in there and the soaking is just not letting it come out and I dont want to be that rough as that side is a bit swollen and it bleeds a bit after cleaning. Put betadine around area after drying and as I did not have any more lotrimin I put a little nu stock on wound area - -She proceeded to be a little more up for the day, when I let her out in afternoon to graze she was digging and eating drinking some - its hot - went up to roost early again and just checked on her. She is dripping little drops of liquid from her butt/feathers and just seems off - you just know she is not right. I am concerned about this gunk I cannot remove, it is like it is glued in. Of course she has not laid an egg with all this going on in the past week. Is this stuff that lash egg I have heard about and know nothing about. tomorrow is to be the second dose of safeguard for all. I am checking all the poop in the run while trying to pick up as much as I can and not seeing anything of concern in the poops. At a loss for my girl though.
Please dont rush tonight to answer if you are busy as I wont do anything else till morning for her anyway. Thanks in advance.

Oh dear. Sounds miserable. I am all out of ideas and definitely don't have the experience to help but wanted to say I am thinking of you both.

I think you posted it in the right place - I have just been following as I was experiencing similar with Minnie.
I am glad to say Minnie seems well - her color is better and her crop is emptying and she is full of energy. I am integrating 3 new chicks and Minnie has realized that her mission in life is to make theirs hell on earth! Lots of exercise being had by all!
