Does it mean anything?Looks like an abnormal egg. An lash egg to be exact.
Would it be more beneficial to use the Medistatin over the copper sulfate?I think they no longer carry the Medistatin. Here's where I got it recently https://jedds.com/search?type=product&options[prefix]=last&options[unavailable_products]=last&q=Medistatin
The inside contained white with no yolk. I found another this morning under the roosting pole.You need to slice into the strange nest artifact. If it's full of cheesy substance, it's lash material, signifying infection. It it's thin and papery, it's a collapsed egg membrane, and it would signify a calcium deficiency or other reproductive issues.
Should I discard the eggs during treatment?One is as good as the other, and you can even combine them, using one right after the other for greater effectiveness.
For vent gleet : Get some human probiotics at your local health store. The powder capsules. Open the capsules and give each hen 1/6 to 1/5 of the capsule per day. I usually dampen a small piece of bread and tip roughly 1/6th of a capsule on to it, then fold over the piece of bread to contain the powder and give it to them that way. Usually easier. You could also just break open 1-2 capsules and put on top of the feed, but personally I like to give it to them individually on the bread to make sure each of them get it. You could put each one down in a bucket of salt water to wash off their butts. That way you are cleaning them up and doing a little infection prevention at the same time.I have 5 hens that I just adore, they are my babies! I think all of them have vent gleet. They all have feces sticking to their butt feathers with some white discharge at the base of the vent. I also have a big brahma that has scaly leg mites, it is pretty severe. I wonder if I should be doing a big treatment for all of them or if I should be spot treating one at a time. I have been putting probiotics in their feed and ACV in the water. I want to do everything I can for my girls.
