    Prolapse vent with scab?

    I’m dealing with our first prolapse and we’re on day 3. She still seems fine except for the prolapse (perky, wanting food, etc). I’ve been doing all the stuff: soak. Epsom. Sugar. Hydrocortisone. Vetricyn. It will stay in a bit longer now, but it still pops out when she poops. It was initially...

    Having trouble sexing adult Coturnix Quail

    So I've hatched out a few batches of Coturnix Quail, I have varying ages now- all at least 7 weeks old up to 20 weeks old. Some are from other breeders, and the last batch was from eggs of my own. For my first hatch, at about 7-8 weeks I was able to vent sex using the foam that males produce...

    Vent Gleet Help!!

    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.

    Do I have to clean dried poop off of chicks butt if vent is clearly open?

    We recently got three new chicks, a Rhode Island Red, Golden Comet, and a Light Brahama. Our light brahma has had poop stuck on his down feathers below his vent which I can see opening and closing when I touch it, should I try and clean that poop off or can I just leave him. I assume they get...

    First time chicken keeper, so please bear with me! :confused: I collected 3 rescue hens 5 days ago - so I am assuming they are around 18 months old. One of them clearly has a health problem, but I am not sure what it is. She appears to have no feather loss apart from her tail and around her...

    Henrietta clenching her bottom

    Hello, New to the chicken world and lacking in appropriate chicken terminology, so I apologize in advance. We have a very pretty silver laced Wyandotte hen, 22 weeks, and she has been extra loud this week (I thought it was from the heat, high 80s/90s), but then the past few days I saw what...

    Vent Gleet

    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...

    Please help! Is this a prolapsed vent?

    This poult unfortunately came down with vent gleet quite young. I finished treating that about a month ago, but her vent has kept needing constant applications of vaseline or neosporin otherwise it gets crusty/scabby. I realized I don't know what a "healthy" vent is supposed to look...
