vent gleet

hello, I have a 10 old chick that has lost her vent area feathers and vent seems to be swollen and red. She eats, drinks and poops fine. she seems active and alert like the others. Does anyone know what is going on and how to treat?

This is my first time raising chicks; I work at a farm so we're raising around 300 which are about five weeks old now. Some of the chicks have this whitish clumping stuff on their butts. I'm not sure if it's diarrhea or something else or if it's related to feather wounds (we've had some issues...

Everyone knows that one of the telltale signs of a healthy hen is a nice fluffy bottom. I recently noticed my 21 month old ISA brown hen has a weirdly messy bottom. Here's the thing: it's not right around her vent but actually under it by a couple inches. Upon checking her vent itself, it looked...

This started a few weeks ago with my hen. I noticed she was smelly so I took a look at her vent and noticed some cheese/egg looking substance crusted on/around her vent. I cleaned it off and after learning about vent gleet I applied anti-fungal cream. She was fine for a while but now it has come...

Hello everyone! I've always been a lurker, reading posts and gather information, but at the moment I'm stumped and worried I may or may not be doing the right things. I have a 6mo. Australorp hen who we found on November 30th acting pretty unusual in the coop the other day. We brought her...

Hi Folks, I am hoping that someone can help me in regard to a rescue hen that I've had for about 5 weeks now. I picked up 4 hens from a British Hen Rescue Trust a few weeks ago. All of the hens were in a terrible condition, dehydrated, lots of bald patches, feather loss and long toe nails. I...

My nine-week-old French Black Copper Marans Roo has not been looking good. He had Coccidiosis a few weeks ago and has been treated. Yesterday we noticed that he has a bunch of yellowish-white stuff stuck to the vent feathers. We quarantined him away from the flock. He's not eating and isn't...

Hi all. So I have a 2-year-old Partridge Olive Egger hen who has had chronic diarrhea for at least the last couple of months. It almost comes out in a stream and her vent is almost always dirty. At first I thought that that was just her, but after a little more research, I’m pretty sure she has...

Hello, This is our first time with meat birds (but we’ve had laying hens for a few years). We have 40 Cornish Giants and they’re 4.5 weeks old living their best life in a couple pastured chicken tractors. The other day I discovered one male was getting picked on and his butt was bloody. He’s...

Hello, I got 4 ex batts 5 weeks ago and a day after they arrived, three seemed to turn on one hen. She went up and sat on top of the coop a lot to stay out of their way and I noticed whenever she tried to eat or drink she would be chased away by any of the other three. I used to stand at one of...

Could this be vent gleet ? We removed her from the flock last night because she just keeps losing feathers and has hardly any feathers near her vent and it’s very red there too. She has very poopy feathers around there too, we trimmed those feathers with scissors last night. There’s nothing...

My laying rescue pekin has a pretty swollen, irritated vent and I haven’t been able to find help anywhere else. She is still laying and acting relatively normal although she’s getting a little bit slower now that we are on day 3 and it isn’t looking any better. I don’t see any discharge & it...

Hi all, I have a Rhode Island Red Hybrid just under 2 years old. Yesterday morning we discovered a prolapsed vent and after doing some research we tried fixing it with honey, sugar, warm water with an anti-septic, medical talc & even a haemorrhoid cream! However after a few minutes it the...

I have a gosling that is one week old with a dirty vent. I’ve bathed her twice now. She eats drinks and poops the typical liquidy brown poop but vent stays sort of poopy all the time and there is a small bald patch right above it. I’ve attached a photo. Is this normal? What does a normal vent...

Hey y’all, I have a couple sick hens: Pepper is a redstar about 4 years old and Buttercup is a golden campine about 3 years old. I noticed that both of them are lethargic, not eating, and have poop smeared all over their vent area. I assumed they had vent gleet so I put probiotics in their...

OK. So in sick Bay today are: Olive Egger "Sweet Olive" and Wellsummer cross "Big Red", aka "mean little heifer". Olive was put in sick bay yesterday and we immediately started treatment. She also has a respiratory infection and is treated with amoxicilline for that. Both have vent gleet. Olive...

Hi friends. I'm running out of google searches and keep hitting dead ends. My current scenario is a 1.5yo Golden Sexlink named Betty. She developed vent gleet and it was NASTY. She also had vent prolapse, and I have been trying to follow all other recommendations to fix both these things for...

Hello, I have a chicken I have been treating for vent gleet and she is doing much better with the exception of her legs. We adopted her from a local chicken farmer and when she came to us we noticed that she was always sitting low to the ground. I believe this is how she eventually ended up with...

can you eat the eggs from a chicken that had vent gleet?

i have a chicken that has something major going on with her vent. I didn’t notice it until yesterday when I noticed some diarrhea on her feathers. I’ve inspected the whole flock within the last 2-3 weeks because we just dealt with mites. Posting a picture for better ideas. I looked up vent...
