vent help!!

[Swampy_9]

I have no idea if this is relating to the mite infestation we have right now. I've been treating them once every other day to not completely stress my hens out but today I was cleaning our older hen's butt because of poop and saw her vent like this.

It's not bleeding she is still going to the bathroom though it gets stuck, it doesn't smell bad just smells the same as chicken poop, she still fought me to not give her a cleaning so I know she still has her spirit and I think two days ago she just laid an egg. Though this has never followed

What should I do. Is there something I myself can do given there is no immediate vet anywhere near by.

Right now I'm going to give her some smashed boiled eggs to give her something to eat and protein. But is there anything else I should do? I've also going to spray her with vetricyn but not sure if I should continue with the mite spray like this

Looks she has some fly strike, what ate you using to treat the mites?

I'm using pure planet poultry spray for mites and give them a quick soak in permethrin/ water. I clean their coop once a week and put gardstar poultry garden dust above the bedding and some in their dust areas

Right now I cleaned her up again now that her feathers are dried and didn't find scabbing or any blood just some poop before I sprayed her with banixx for chixx spray since I don't have any more vetricyn.

She ate her egg just fine. Keeps preening herself so I have no idea what else I could do for the mites or if it is fly strike

I used diatomaceous earth when one my chickens had mites. I dusted all of them with it real good and the mites were gone almost instantly. The feathers started coming back within a few days. Put it in their dust areas too. It works great. Just don't let it get wet. Doesn't work when wet everything has to be dry.

Ookay ill try that too. Do you know if her vent looks like this because of the mites? Only she and my rooster have bad mites

Her vent was fine. She lost all her feathers though. I would do all your chickens with it just to be on the safe side.

That poultry spray will not help with either issue, the permethrine is the best bet. If there's no scab, she mat have beaten it.

D.E is bad for you and your birds to breathe, I wouldn't recommend you do that anymore.
