Dealing with possible vent gleet.
So I noticed one of my orpington pullets seemed to have dirty bum. The feathers around her vent were a little caked in white poop. I brought her in and cleaned her up. Otherwise she seems totally normal. I'm just holding her while she dries off and I'm reading about vent gleet. She's roughly 24 weeks old and still not laying eggs... could the hormones be the cause of this? My other chickens are all fine. She isn't missing any feathers and I didn't notice any sort of yellow coloring to the poop.
Should I keep her inside away from the flock until I figure out what's going on with her?
I dont give my flock probiotics in their water, but im guessing I should start. What can I give her? I have poul-vite on hand should I give her that? Any advice? Thanks
Picture is of her vent after I cleaned it, you can see some of the white poop still caked to her bum. And I have her inside away from the flock and this is what her poop looks like.
