    Strange yellow mass below vent of Buff Orpington

    Hello. This morning my family found our 4-year-old (estimate) Buff Orpington had a huge yellow mass below her vent. She had tons of maggots feeding off of the wound, which is obviously infected. She surprisingly wasn't very affected by this mass. She is breathing heavily and is pretty tired...

    Pasty butt

    Anyway to prevent baby chicks from getting pasty butt? I was going to get some chicks about a week old but I realized a lot of them that young seem to get it so I guess I'll wait and get some older.

    Poop hanging from hen's behind?

    My girls have finished molting and are now beautifully feathered, including their fluffy behinds. Unfortunately, on some of them, there are gobs of poop hanging off the soft feathers under their vents. Last year, I trimmed off the feathers under their vents if they had hanging poop. Does...

    Vent gleet cures?

    I have two hens with vent gleet. I have been using anti fungal cream; getting gloves on and smearing some around their vents. It helps, but as soon as I stop (putting the anti fungal cream on them), the vent fleet comes right back! Who knows about a more efficient treatment? I appreciate your...
