Vent gleet?

[mckaylaburgess]

This morning I noticed one of my girls had a slightly poopy bottom. She wouldn’t let me get close enough to get a great picture, but is this just poop or vent gleet? What should I do? I was planning on giving electrolytes to everyone like I usually do every few weeks.

All chickens can get a poopy butt if they have some loose droppings. Clean her up with pulling off dried droppings, trim excess fluff, and if she needs a warm soapy butt bath afterward, make sure that she is warm enough and thoroughly dry. Vent gleet is a fungal infection (yeast infection) that causes feather loss, raw skin, foul odor, and may require treating with an antifungal medication.

Okay thank you so much. I’ll be honest, I had heard about vent gleet but wasn’t sure what it was exactly.
