How do I clean her vent..pics

Go to the store and get some poultry dust or 5% Sevin, DE won't work and mites can kill a bird.

While you're at the store, get some Safeguard liquid or paste, it's in the cattle, goat and horse sections of feedstores.

Ok hubby off to Ace for the dust..he did get baby oil and gloves Will have to hit feed store tomorrow for the other..and I did see her sipping water..so I will clean her then dust her..think is ok to dust her in bathroom..I don't care at this point..

And is it ok she doesn't roost for night..will she just end up in her droppings..should I put something in there for her.

She will be fine without roosting. I have used a piece of wood in my shower for mine to roost on. If shes really weak, she may not be able to.

Hi,

Yep, that looks like lice to me. It doesn't look like it is a bad case, I've seen worse. Just treat her right and she'll be doing great!

Most of all don't feel guilty. No body is born knowing how to take care of chickens. That's why we have BYC
