I suspect I have at least one hen who has vent gleet. At first I thought it was maybe just diarrhea but after a closer look, it looks like vent gleet (pic attached). I got monistat to treat externally and added ACV to their water. Also gave kefir with some garlic powder. Any other recommendations? She’s still laying and eating/drinking normally.

I also have an olive egger that has had almost a bare bottom for maybe a month now. At first I thought she may be growing new feathers but it doesn’t look like anything is coming in. Thoughts?

And finally, I’ve recently unfortunately not been able to really dedicate the time I want to their feed, supplementation, etc due to nearing the end of my pregnancy but am due soon SO, what natural/organic things can I add to their feed/water or anything to help keep them healthy?

I probably wouldn't use garlic power. What do you mean by using monistat to treat externally? I just got a hen through what appeared to be vent gleat with monistat after 5 days twice a day, in the vent and orally.

Oh sorry, I meant externally like we put it on the inflamed area and into the vent as best I could
