vent gleet

My girl has a prolapsed vent and some type of yellowish paste on her vent too. I’ve been giving her epsom salt baths everyday and keeping the vent clean the best I can. I’ve been trying to push it back in after cleaning once or twice a day but it keeps coming back out. Should I just leave it...

My 4 year old chicken Goldie was unable to walk so I brought her in to check her out. I don’t see any noticable injuries to her legs or feet. When she stands she immediately loses her balance and tips over. I was watching her last night while she napped and it’s like her head wouldn’t stay...

Two issues occurring in our tiny flock right now and I've always found great advise on this sight so reaching out for more(?) advise/guidance. Sour Crop: We are on day 3 of something going on with one of our 6 year old barred rock hens. She has been lethargic and throwing up. Based on...

Hello everybody! I have an Americana chicken and I think she might have vent gleet... She does isolate herself in the coop during the day but I take her out to be with everybody and eat lots of yummy grass but it just bothers me. I want to get it taken care of as soon as possible but I'm not so...

Brand new to chickens and hoping someone can help! I've looked on the forums here and can't seem to find this exact problem. I've had 3 Buff Orpingtons since 9/10 (at 24 weeks old). One hen, Ginger, was the first to lay. She laid her first egg on 9/19 (about 25 weeks old) and laid at least 2-3...

I have a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen who is 21 weeks old. She laid 4 small eggs day after day then skipped a day, then laid a double yolk larger egg. She then skipped a day and went on to lay 3 more small eggs. The last egg she laid was 9/5/23 - so it has been 6 days. I think something stress...

Hello! I was wondering if this was vent gleet or if anyone had insight as to what this could be? I’m pretty sure she just laid her first egg. She’s walking, eating, drinking like normal. Haven’t seen her poop yet. She’s eating layer feed and scraps. Thank you in advance!

Just looking for advice/suggestions/insight or to see if anyone has had any similar experiences. Found a hen with a pecking injury to vent last Tuesday Was very bloody, cleaned her up and separated her. The Wednesday she seemed to be egg bound, really unwell/uncomfortable struggling to lay...

Our 1 year and 9 month old hen was starting to act funny last night, as she was going in the nesting box instead of the roosting bar at night. We thought she had a late egg. But this morning, I noticed she was standing still by the water, ignoring the food i had brought in. I picked her up to...

Help! I got a batch of silkies a few weeks ago and one has had a swollen/prolapsed vent since I got her and I don't know what else to do. The photo was taken right after I gave her an Epsom salt bath and put some Vaseline. Typically it is covered in white discharge.. Not sure if she has vent...

A month of two ago some of my hens got brutaly attacked by some mean hens (which I DO NOT have anymore). They got their vents attacks severely. I've been watching them and I thought they were recovering well. They had some weird discharge which I didn't take to concern because I thought it was...

Symptoms: My 7-week-old Salmon Faverolles pullet has has orange, runny poop for several weeks. I dismissed it as cecal poop but now see that it is always orange and runny, and sometimes foamy as well. Smells terrible, either same or worse than cecal poop. Possible vent gleet with dirty vent...

Hi everybody, this is my first post and I hope I am in the right place. To be honest I am desperate. I am close to tears so please bear with me. WARNING nasty photos enclosed. My 4 yo indian runner duck has had a vent small prolaps over easter, which we managed to get back in over the course...

My girl has sour crop and vent gleet. I'm going to buy some Monistat but I heard you can give it orally. Is there a certain type that you give orally because I don't want to give her the wrong type?

I have a under year old lavender ameraucana rooster whom i soaked in Epsom salt bath today to get him cleaned up to assess his rear. I wasn't sure if it was vent gleet or what was happening but a couple weeks back I noticed the super dirty rear. At the time or noticing it, i currently had a hen...

I’m sharing my story in hopes that it will help someone else if they have something similar happen. I don’t know the ending yet, but I have some things that I’ve learned along the way that I wish I’d known early on. Our Khaki Campbell, Goldie started having trouble a little over a month ago...

this is on my rooster i have did some research and need some help i dont see any mites or any discharge on him this is what it looks like im not sure if it appeared like this over night or the past couple of days i dont remember seeing it yesterday but i may have just not noticed it the black...

Hi All! Just went out this to check on my ladies and noticed one of my hens has a super dirty backside. She is eating, drinking and acting like she does normally. No other issues that I can see nor any other chickens with issues. Two of them have some slight white on their feathers but very...

My 4.5 year old leghorn hen has had white crusted butt, and clear liquid dripping out of her cloaca constantly. Poop used to be covered in slime but now it looks more normal. I've been treating her for vent gleet, as information about these specific symptoms seems limited. For the past 2 weeks...

Hello Everyone, Ive gone over potential differentials and I’ve come down to one; bumblefoot. Main concern is change in activity, eating pattern, and poop change. Im not sure if anything else is going on or if this is just a result of bumble foot. Below I will try my best to provide a past and...
