Vent gleet?

[JDfromND]

New to chickens this year... Is this smelly stuff a sign of vent gleet?

Could be lice. Wash her up and look for bugs.

Wait...I only looked at one picture. ( I saw the black gunk). Is that egg stuff coming out of her?

Probably a bacteria infection. Is a vet an option?

It looks like watery poop to me. The other day when I helped my neighbor secure her run I found a similar smaller poop on her broody Orpington’s butt feathers.

Unless it smells like a bakery in July it isn't gleet. Gleet smells like yeast and butt. That looks like egg and poop, maybe a shelless egg went on?

No local vets that work with chickens it is super stinky slime poop or so it seems

Is she eating?

I'm afraid she may need antibiotics.
That poop is not normal along with a funky smell leads me to believe infection.

How long has she been pooping like this?

I would wash the vent area with soapy water and rinse well. Then dry her off well. Vent gleet usually causes a reddened area, scalded skin, with whitish plaques. There is usually a continuous flow of fowl smelling whitish poop. Tomorrow, I would try to take some fresh droppings in to the local vet for a fecal test. Make sure to provide fresh clean water, and some probiotics in her diet. Look for any poops that may contain egg material. Is she laying eggs that look normal? Here is some reading about gleet:

No bakery smell there. This was the first day she let me get anywhere near her but I noticed what I thought was goopy stuff day before yesterday and couldn't find her yesterday
