Rooster has a vent infection?

[Eggcessive]

Do you have any pictures? Are the worms on his vent or in the poo on the ground, and how long had the poop been there when you saw them? What size are they? Sorry for all of the questions.

Vent gleet is a fungal infection in the digestive system, and it causes smelly runny poop, and the outside of the vent becomes very irritated and sore with red or white patches.

I would try to rule out his being pecked about the vent first, but it can be treated with antifungal creams, such as Nustock, clotrimazole from the dollar store, and oral Nystatin. You can do some butt soaks in warm Epsom salts or Dawn and water. Apple cider vinegar 1/2 to each gallon of water can acidify the digestive tract. Here is some info about it:

It was in his poop on the ground, i saw him poop so no time had passed, i did take video... but it wont let me load it. Do t think you can see them in the picture without movement but sharing anyway.

These were tiny moving worms. Nothing big...

That could be tapeworms. Those require a wormer with praziquantel. Equimax horse paste 0.03 ml per pound of weight is a good treatment. That is 0.15 ml for a 5 pound chicken. I would get a fecal float test by a local vet if possible to confirm and find out if other worms are found though. Is that blood or orange mucus in the poop as well? Here is a video of tapeworms (and you can post videos on YouTube with a link here)

I think it is blood. Here is the video.

The video is a bit short for me to see any tapeworms moving. Blood can be a sign of coccidiosis, capillary worms, and sometimes intestinal lining or irritation. I would still get a fecal test done by a vet if possible. If dealing with capillary worms, Valbazen or Safeguard may be needed in multiple doses. Praziquantel is better for tapes, but not as good for the others.

Out of all the worms i have seen, capillary makes the most sense. Thin thread like, and no longer than .5" but usually not found in poop.... would they cause bleeding and swollen vent, and yellow scabbing?

Getting as fecal float as suggested is always a good idea. If that is not possible, then I agree with @Eggcessive to worm him with Valbazen or Safeguard.

Looking at your other thread, the photos are little better. I would also treat for Vent Gleet. At least keep cleaning the vent daily and apply an anti-fungal cream. If worms are slowing the digestive process, then he may also be having some crop problems that can contribute to gleet. Offer him fresh feed, clean his water station daily and limit/cut out treats like corn/scratch until you get all this cleared up. Egg or tuna would make a good treat.

I was under the impression only round worms and tape worms can be seen in droppings... that looks like neither to me, but definitely not tape. A fecal float if possible is highly recommended. I would do it today.

I agree I would still treat for vent gleet. And see about getting him to eat some scrambled egg. If he isn't drinking yet I would be administering water with nutri drench or other vitamins.
