Oh no, it sounds like your little chick is in a bit of a pickle! It’s not uncommon for our feathered friends to face some pooping predicaments, especially if their vent looks a tad different than usual. Thankfully, this doesn’t mean all hope is lost! Since your chick is eating and drinking well, that’s a positive sign, but we definitely want to address the vent situation. It could be a case of pasty butt or simply a blockage. Don’t worry; there are a few cluck-tastic ways to help her out! Let’s dive into some gentle remedies and tips to get that little one back on track, so she can strut her stuff without any more struggles. Hang tight; we’re here to help!

- Object Hanging From VentHi everyone. I walked out to the coop this morning to find my girl just standing around and she has something hanging outside of her vent. I have never seen something like this on any of my chickens. I also wasn’t able to really find anything matching it online. She seems uncomfortable and I currently have her separated from the rest of the flock. I am really hoping I can help her. Can someone please help me? Thank you so much. submitted by /u/qcc1414 [link] [comments]
- Prolapsed vent helpMy last Tuesday I noticed one of my girls had a prolapsed vent. It was pretty substantial but didn’t look like the others had started going after it yet. I’ve tried epsom baths, sugar, preparation h, vetericyn. We were able to get the vent back in and we held it for 20-60 min at a time but every time we put her down she poops and it comes out again. Two days in we had to help her pass an egg around 12 then again that same night. The second egg was very rubbery she’ll. She’s not laid since. She eats and drinks fine and we try to keep it moist with preparation h and vetericyn but as of Friday we can’t get the vent to go back at all. We let it sit to see if the swelling would go down. Today my husband was unable to come home on lunch to spray and now the prolapse is rock hard She’s currently in the bath to see if we can’t soften it back up but I’m at a loss as what to do next. Do we keep trying or is it time? Unfortunately I don’t have an affordable vet option. The only one I’ve found in the area that would treat her says she’s considered an exotic and it’s a pretty large amount just to see her. submitted by /u/graydaisy128 [link] [comments]
- 11 week old pullet acting strangeHello! First time chicken owner. One of my pullets is acting odd. She’s a naked neck and normally one of the more skittish of my crew. Yesterday, i noticed that she was drawn into herself and a little puffed up. I didn’t notice anything blocking her vent. She’s not running around like she normally does. I was thinking she was constipated last night because i noticed her almost straining, but then she pooped. I’m really worried about her and wanted to see if anyone has seen something like this? Any recs? I’m going to find a vet who can take a look, but thought I’d also ask here while i call around. submitted by /u/Ambitious_Housing689 [link] [comments]
