    Hen had an egg stuck again today

    Hi, me again. My hen who I found in the run yesterday with an egg stuck had it happen again today. However, today's egg was much more difficult for her to pass. She was REALLY straining and a hard mass just above her vent was protruding. I thought it was the egg at first but the egg ended up...

    Why is my hen's butt balding?

    Hey guys. So I see this question commonly asked on here. I read through some threads to see that a lot of you guys said that this is a common sign of mites or picking. So I have 3 hens. 2 are BCM's and one I believe is a BCM-Barred Rock mix. They all came from the same place. These birds were...

    Is it?

    We recently bought hens from someone online. After they were delivered to a friends house, I drove to pick them up (3.5 hrs) Long story short they look to have vent gleet and 3 out of 5 have bumble foot. Do you agree? When talking to the previous owner she said they looked fine to her and would...

    Weird Question: Accidentally got Blu-Kote in Chicken's vent

    I know Blu-kote isn't the best and there are all kinds of warnings about it. For this reason, I avoid it with one exception: I only use it a few times a year on a chicken who always has the area around her vent pecked when she molts (and she always molts in the summer). I've tried Pick-no-more...

    Is this a prolapsed vent? How to treat?

    Penny was a bit lethargic this morning when I let everyone out of their coop and standing with her wings slack and other feathers all fluffed up. I brought her inside and she is relatively alert but still clearly has something going on. I'm trying to attach a video of her vent. It seems to make...

    Still in incubator. Lethargic and splayed leg

    One of my silkies hatched but it has splay leg and seems lethargic. It has been in the incubator for 24 hrs now. I used vet wrap to make a splint for its legs but it still hasn’t walked. I tried sugar water and it seems to perk up for a second then lays back down. The other chicks went to a...

    To quarantine or not to quarantine? Help!

    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...

    White poop on butt

    My polish almost died last week after I found she was retaining an egg. She was able to pass the egg (it was her normal sized egg) ~36hrs and it wasn’t broken but she’s had this butt ever since. Help! Her poop hasn’t gotten better or worse since then and it’s been 1.5wks. Her personality has...

    Hen with dirty butt only when laying (not when molting)

    Hi all! I've got an Easter egger named Scarlet that we rescued about a year and a half ago. When we got her she had this dirty butt (vent gleet?) and while it has gotten slightly better, it's still a constant thing she has. UNLESS she is molting and not laying. We've had her for two cycles now...

    Help! Vent gleet or something else? (Pic attached)

    Looks darker than the pictures I’ve seen of discharge from vent gleet. Noticed she was separated from the flock and had no energy to eat. She seemed very disoriented and had trouble standing for a moment when I put her back down. She is currently separated in a dog crate with food and water.
