These two turkey chicks had their vents absolutely destroyed by their turkey-chick-mates!
Where do I even start?
I separated them from others.
I got the bleeding to stop with blood quick stopper. Now what?
Hi everyone,
My Jersey Giant has missing feathers below her vent and her skin is blue with some sores. I have a few other hens with feathers missing below their vents, but their skin is healthy and I attribute that to their good egg laying. This jersey giant is otherwise healthy. I’ve posted a...
Not seeing this pop up on the Already Asked thing, and I'm not getting answers from people I follow, so here I am.
My Leilei is a 5mo SilkiexBarbu Cross who I've confirmed laid 2 first eggs as opposed to 1. How I confirmed was I saw her poop and I thought her vent had prolapsed! I quickly...
Yesterday something got our flock during the day. I believe if was a fox or coyote. It took one hen, and the other is slightly injured. The animal seemed to have grabbed her tail, and ripped our all of her tail feathers. In addition, her vent looks prolapsed, and I’ve only attempted to push it...
Hi there, I have a 4-week old barred rock chick (along with 24 other chicks) and they have all been thriving until yesterday I heard this baby chick screaming for help and all her siblings were attacking her vent.
I can't tell if it's a prolapse or just swollen or what the issue is? I've...
Goof morning. I noticed bloody stool in the run yesterday while I was doing my daily clean up. I noticed some dried blood on my girl Katie this morning (no more bloody stool that I noticed today). I soaked her in a Epsom salt bath and cleaned her vent area and noticed the lip of her vent...
Muscovy hen. Photo attached. Age is unknown, seems in good health aside from the protrusion. I’ve read the other threads, but hers looks different than any photos I’m finding.
I noticed one of the duck eggs had a little blood on it a few days ago but didn’t think much of it, since the...
I have a 3 day blue Swedish female duckling that has a prolapse vent. I’ve tried sugar and preparation H but it keeps coming back out after awhile. Anything I can do to keep it in? All the vets around us are out for the holiday. I’ve taken her away from her siblings which she’s very upset about...
I am at a loss...and just don't know what to do now.
We have a grown bourbon red hen turkey that has the following symptoms...
She was laying eggs until about a week or so ago. I didn't notice any egg binding or prolapse that needed treatment during this time.
We first noticed a full crop...
Hi there my 1 year old hen has started getting a little bit of a poopy but the last few days and today i checked and she has this sticking out of her vent. It is hard and almost looks like maybe a malformed egg? I put some gloves on and tried to see what was going on and it seems to be stuck...
Hi, so I have a small flock on my back garden who just seem to always get sick
I’ve had them coming up a year, and we’ve already spent a couple of hundred pounds on vet bills. They’ve had parasites, they now have vent gleet, and they’ve seen the vets twice already now.
First it was new chickens...
Hi guys, we need some pretty urgent help regarding a chicken, the local vet wasn't much help as they basically said that the vent needs to go back inside or the chicken put down, but we're really struggling to get it back in. We think the large intestine has also come out of her as we can see...
One of my silkies has a scab on her butt. It seams to lead inside her cloaca so when she dose an egg it bleeds a tiny bit. She seams fine in her self otherwise and is still laying and has been for 9 months. Ive considered using a poultry wound spray but as the injury is in a sensitive area im...
Hi, I have a ten year old barred rock hen named combs. It has been months since the last time she layed, and the last time she became egg bound. Yesterday she spent most of her morning in the egg box but seemed fine and left without laying. When I went to feed the chickens dinner I found her in...
Hi all,
One of my little ISA browns has these bloody/sticky feathers around her vent. The vent itself looks fine -- I don't see any prolapse or anything -- but you can see there is dark blood stuck around the vent and on the feathers, with some of the feathers hanging down and bloody. My first...
I have a hen who seems to be trying to pass a bloody egg or something. Does anyone know what is going on here and what I should do? She’s drinking water with vitamins added. She seems to be straining. We are building a separate place for her in the coop right now so she can get some space...
Good morning. This is my first post. I am attaching photos. Not sure if this is gleet or something else. Peace's poops all look normal but her fluffy down feathers are missing and there is encrusted yellow/white on lower portion of her vent.
I have been giving epsom salt baths and O3 cream...
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...
