Yellow crust butt?

What would this be?

Would this be vent gleet? And if so, do I orally give Nystatin liquid? What would be the dosage for a 6.8 lb hen?

Do her droppings smell worse than usual? It is hard to know if she has vent gleat, but it won’t hurt to treat her. Do you have the nystatin liquid already? Or Medistatin? Here is a good link about dosage of nystatin, and I would use some Miconazole or Monistat cream around her vent as well:

It smells the same. But the reason I checked her out is because she woke up this morning with a small crop, put liquid filled.
I do have Nystatin. I bathed her, out monistat on her bum.

That link is for powdered Nystatin but I have liquid. Help with dosage on that?

Do I need to seperate her from the flock?

The dosage is 200,000-300,000 units per kilogram or each 2.2 pounds 2-3 times a day.

Ty. Does she need to be separated from the others?

 

[Eggcessive]

I don’t like to separate chickens from the flock unless they are being picked on. It is just too hard to reintegrate them after pecking order changes. You could medicate her early morning when she is still on the roost, and again at dusk when she is back on. I would recommend some probiotics in her diet.

Won't it spread to the others?

I am not convinced that she has anything contagious. If she is getting vent gleet it may be early. Usually vent gleet causes a raw red vent with huge feather loss, dripping urates which cause burning, and a very bad odor. It is up to you if she needs to be separated, but I would not.

That's great, ty. You are always so helpful. You are a great person.
