If you have cute pictures of your broody hen and her babies, enter them in the Broodies and their Babies Contest! There are PRIZES! The ending date is coming up so hurry!

I will check it out!

Quote: Yeah, I have no clue they were doing great and then they just gave up.

Update!!!! (Wait, its not Christmas yet

)

Poor Cosette. I gave her another bath today and she was not happy. She is drying of now but wow she was not impressed with her bath!

Anyway I soaked her for a long time (maybe an hour altogether) and then gave her Epsom salt. I am hoping she can get over this quickly and quietly. I am smashing my head right now over vent gleet.

Here are the pictures,


















I have been using this https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/vent-gleet-aka-nasty-chicken-butt (Thanks Sally) which has been very helpful but I am also sick of doing this by myself! Help would be much appreciated (and pictures of your own experiences are very helpful also). Thanks!

P.S Bathing birds is unpleasant.

I couldn't agree more. Cosette is so pretty! I hope that she starts feeling better.

 

[Mr MKK FARMS]

Why thank you! I hope so too!

So this is where I will be sharing pics, stories, and updates for MKK Farms. For General info on MKK Farms check out my article for MKK Farms. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/mkk-farms-poultry-and-rabbitry Today I went about the normal chores. First I give them food and water, then I let them out in the run, and then I collect eggs (Not to mention take LOADS of pics

though today it was pouring so I didn't do that part). When I got inside I checked on my eggs/chicks in the incubator. Four have piped and are now screaming as loudly as they can! I think they are all fertile. Stay tuned!

Mr M do you have any pics of your barred rock chicks at 4-6 weeks old? If so, I would love to see what they look like around that age. I love all your post and pics!

Ok, what is vent gleet?? And what breed is your chick pictured bathing?

Thanks! I think I do have pictures of them at that age. Hang on.

Vent gleet is a yeast infection. That is a faverolle.

 

[Mr MKK FARMS]

Here you go. This is at 6 weeks I believe.





That is all I could find.

OH MY GOSH!!! So adorable!! I'm looking for another one. I lost the only one I had (Batman) and he was my favorite!! So how do chickens get this yeast infection? What causes it and what are the signs?

Do they lay eggs if they have vent gleet? And if they do--does that effect the quality of egg you get? Can you eat it?
