Possible Infected Cloaca?? Please help!

[MFFarmer]

Hello!

We have a Jungle Fowl hen that has a possible infection on her cloaca. She is acting completely normal and doesn't seem to be in any pain. However, she is having a hard time pooping and when she does it sits on her cloaca and hardens in her feathers.
She currently has a wet scab and raw skin covering it.
Does anyone know a way to treat her to keep the skin clean and help her heal? How do we keep her clean back there?

Warning, the picture is a little graphic.

Looks like vent gleet? Proibiotics and acv in the water can help if it is. I believe there is some threads on this issue if you look for them.

What do you soak them in? Is it just a warm water bath or an Epsom salt bath or what??
