    Prolapsed Vent?

    I discovered one of my chickens had a large obtrusion coming out of her vent. Based on the research I have done it appears it could be a prolapsed vent, however, none of the photos I have seen shows it to this degree so I am unsure. She was fine yesterday, and had nothing protruding. There is...

    Just hatched chick had a bleed - protruding vent?

    My kids and I just hatched our second chick but when the chick finally got the bottom half of the egg off and broke free of the yolk sac cord there was some blood- appears to be coming from the vent or rear? Is this a protruding vent? Bleeding stopped very quickly but I’m worried about infection.

    Redness and bumps near vent

    We treated our rooster for mites a few months ago when we noticed he started limping. We kept an eye on him to make sure all the mites were gone. He kept taking turns on each leg, skin and comb looked healthy and he still seemed strong so we hoped he would improve. Unfortunately he didn't...

    Super lethargic, weird poop

    A few days ago I noticed my buff orpington was acting a little slower than usual. She has been getting worse and it looks like she's having weird bathroom troubles. She strains a lot and only a little comes out and it looks "snaky". I don't believe she is eggbound unless the egg might have...

    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...
