One of my ISA browns (almost a year old) has had a very messy bottom. She burst a blood vessel laying a giant egg the other day and had blood from her vent for two days. We immediately isolated her when we saw the blood and she is now comfortably housed on our enclosed porch while. There has been no more blood and she is continuing to lay normal sized eggs, but I am wondering if she has vent Gleet OR if the white stuck to her feathers is just from not roosting while sleeping because of being in the dog kennel to sleep while we isolated her? I'm not seeing any discharge, she's eating and sleeping completely normally, active and pecking around in the straw we gave her to keep her occupied. The only thing I see is crusty white on her feathers below her vent.
We have given her two lukewarm water soaks to remove it and made sure she is completely dry before going back outside (we live in new england and the temps have been very cold and snowy). Also have been putting apple cider vinegar in her waterer and feeding her a little plain greek yogurt.
Any advice is helpful! We want to get her back out with her friends ASAP!
