I have a hen that gets mild vent gleet on and off. I always treat her as soon as I see her feathers being dirty. But over time she lost a lot of weight.
What would be a good method to fatten her up? I hope I can give her some strength to get through the coming winter. She’s 2 years old.
 
High protein food such as meat, eggs, and fish are all good. Giving chick starter with at least 20% protein will help too. I would try those things and see how it goes.
If you aren’t giving it already some good yogurt will help with the vent gleet and help her gut.
 
l guess to get optimal results I would separate her right?
I’ve separated her during treatments and she seems to eat less if I do.
