vent advice

My barred rock is suffering from the following: Chickens butt is covered in wet feces, white secretions, blood, and a clump of maggots gathered around her vent, that also happens to be bulging when she strains to poop, blood, feces and maggots fall. First noticed her droppings, with watery...

Got 5 Lavender Orpington chicks when they were 2 days old. One of the chicks had a vent that I think was prolapsed from the moment I got her (online, overnight shipped day of birth.) I did all of the things that the feed store, this site and other forums have recommended. (soak bootie, witch...

Hi y'all! I'm posting for a friend who just hatched out some chicks last week. She texted me asking about this one chick in particular that doesn't seem to have a vent... there is a small hole above where the vent typically is and that's how the chick poops and all. Problem is, the hole seems...

My salmon faverolle has an injury to her vent after being mounted a bit aggressively by my cockerel. It's a cut in the corner, a little bit on the inside. I've cleaned around the area (and separated him, which he's not happy about!), but she's always had quite loose stools so I have no idea...

Y’all please don’t roast me. I have a 3.5 week old Wyandotte chick that I’ve been battling what I think is vent gleet. I noticed it 4-5 days ago and thought it was pasty butt, but after two days of that I realized all of what I’m seeing is white. Its vent was bulging and swollen so I thought...

Hi everyone, I've got a 6 month old Emden goose female who has some blood near her vent. After picking her up and looking her over as well as checking her vent she is pink and there's only blood on her feathers. I checked their coop and there's a tiny bit of blood in there but nothing massive...

What is up with my hen. She's almost 2 so I understand it may be a molt but I'm not sure. Her bum area is red and warm to the touch. I looked all over her body for bugs and found maybe 2 lice so I treated her for that even tho I don't think that's the issue. She had this issue 6 months ago and I...

Details: Several weeks ago I brought home three adult hens, two Blue Andalusians and a Plymouth Rock. They are all around 1.5 years old and molting. The Plymouth Rock has only layed one egg so far, I assumed this is because she had bumbles on both feet and has been recovering since I removed...

I need help trying to figure out what condition my chicken has so I can research and hopefully find some remedy. I’ve tried to describe what I see but I’m just not finding something similar. She hasn’t been laying eggs, she did like 2-3 months ago. Her butt area seems like she is about to lay an...

Hi there, I hope someone can help me. My chicken Sparkles was ill a few weeks ago. Antibiotics cleared her up. Today she had bubbles again (in both eyes this time). We have commenced giving her antibiotics again, but this time we noticed there is an abnormality in her vent. Has it prolapsed...

I have a Braham that prolasped her vent trying to lay her first egg. We were able to get the egg out and push her vent back in. She has been housed in doors/dark place the last two days and been doing twice a day Epsom salt bath and using blue kote spray after. We also put undies on her to help...

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...

Hello, i have my sweet chicken Sugar and she became sick very sudden. She has this white/yellow discharge coming out of her vent, she is struggling to poop and breathing extremely heavy. She doesn’t want to eat or drink. We have been syringe feeding her apple Cider Vinegar, dewormer, and a...

One of my hens’ vent was prolapsed a little bit. I separated her from the flock, gave her an epsom salt bath, and manually put things back where they belong. I have been spraying Vetericyn on her vent daily. But when I pick her up, she strains, poops on herself, and her vent prolapses a little...

I have inherited 6 birds from someone who no longer wanted them and hadn't been looking after them great. They all seem to have bare abdomens and smelly messy vents. I have attached a photo. Is this vent gleet? They seem mostly active but I've only had them 12 hours so not watched them for...

Hi everyone, I am having some issues with my hen and need some help. A while back I realized there was water getting into my chicken’s food and they unfortunately got sick. I was pretty sure it was coxi and treated it with the recommended medicine and also some apple cider vinegar afterwards...

I just bought these babies & this one has a serious spot on it! I thought it was poopy butt, but when I actually got in there I saw the poor thing has (what looks to be) a scab! This particular baby has been very sleepy. I chalked it up to being, well, a baby. It eats, drinks & runs around for...

Our two year ISA Brown, Maple, has come down with a prolapsed vent. I didn’t notice it yesterday, so I think it must be relatively new. She is still moving about, wanting to eat, and acting like her normal self. We have soaked her bottom in hot water, but after cleaning her up noticed some hard...
