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.

She's beautiful! Hope she gets better soon!

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?

They do but not as much, and they aren't affected by it as far as I know.

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?

I am sorry. Here, you can read about it here. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/vent-gleet-aka-nasty-chicken-butt

Gave Cosette mash diet food stuff and she didn't even touch it.

I am almost ready to give up...
