Was out with the flock and saw my nearly year old hen with this gooey substance hanging out of her vent. Pretty sure it's not a worm.

She's moving around. Eating and drinking fine. Laying regularly.

Vent gleet or something else? Recommended treatment for gleet if that's what it is?

TIA

If it were vent gleet, that smells pretty bad. If it is, I'd give probiotics and put generic Monistat on her vent three times a day after cleaning her up in a bucket of warm Epsom salt water. You can also give her about a 1/2" from the tube orally.
