[shilo356]

one of my roosters has 2 clogged vents..hes happy..free range and alert but i notice a crusty waxy substance clogging both his vents on his head..and foul smelling..hes about 2 years old. can you use hydrogen peroxide on the vents to kill the infection? or antibiotics?

Go to revivalanimal.com and buy some oxine AH it will take care of that. You can use it in water all the time to keep bacteria out and it will keep the water from getting slimy

so what exactly does my rooster have?

He could have a simple infection or a disease. To hard to tell without a test.

Bubblebean seems to be confident Oxine will work. I don't know anything about Oxine.


Take a pic and post it here.

I'd put him in isolation until you know what he has. Run a search for Infectious Coryza - it's a respiratory disease and it's known for a really foul smelling discharge. You should contact your state vet and they can run a test to be sure.

Oxine is a disinfectant for cleaning the coop and cages, not generally used as a primary means of treating disease.
