vent gleet help? was given 11 chickens a couple weeks ago. not sure what to do
Our take
hi,
like it says i was given 11 chickens a few weeks ago from my neighbor. we live on the same property and she is moving soonish so she gave them to me. she explained their feeding to me, gave me all her equipment, etc. told me to clean the coop and nesting area every few weeks. the coop is usually open and they roam pretty freely most days.
she helped me diagnose vent gleet on one of the chickens. no other chickens are showing any similar signs. my neighbor said she had one get this a last year and she ended up dying before they knew what to do. she was not able to offer much help.
google said to quarantine and bathe the chicken. how would i do that exactly? iâm cleaning the coop of course, i change their water every day all ready. how exactly do you bathe a chicken? can anything about vent gleet be passed to humans? what sort of space is good to quarantine them?
what products or practices in the future can prevent this from happening again also?
thanks in advance. i want to help them i just donât know how to yet.

- What to do for ill chickI recently picked up some chicks and two older but not full grown hens from a local neighbor. The two bigger ones were in a coop. When we went to look at them there was one laying on the ground very lethargic. He took it out and put it in another area and told me the others were probably not letting it eat or drink. I am new to chickens so it seemed like a reasonable thing. Within a few days one of the older hens had a goopy eye and was making a sound that sounded like a sneeze and was lethargic for a few days. She is doing better now. No goopy eye anymore and less sneezing. However now one of the little chicks has sunken eyes that are crusty and it is extremely lethargic. How do I know if this is bird flu or not? What can (if anything) can I do for the chick? They are separated from my coop and flock and I have been washing hands when going between their spaces to try and make sure the original flock doesn't get sick. submitted by /u/fleurdwoman [link] [comments]
- Sick chickenMy two year old Blondie has been acting sick today. She didnât want to come off the roost this morning so after an hour we got her down and inspected her. No signs of injury, egg bound, vent looks good. Found her hiding in the bushes a few hours later so I brought her into quarantine and thatâs when I noticed she sounded hoarse. What should I do next? submitted by /u/Sara_Lunchbox [link] [comments]
