HEN WITH VENT GLEET

[Relleoms]

I am not an expert by any one's standard, but I think if it's just pecking the feathers will grow back as long as she is getting enough protein, is she still laying eggs?

Yes, still laying! And because we have 6 week old chicks with them, they’re getting starter/grower feed with plenty of protein. Guess we’ll see!

This is the best I could get with only one set of hands! No blood, I don’t think evidence of parasites (that I could tell), no smell, her vent looks fine, maybe a few scabs (or feather shafts?)-She’s eating, laying, pooping...everything else seems ok!

Looks similar. I wonder what the issue can be. I'm ordering a spray to heat the wounds and keep her separate for now.
