UPS would lose em.....
"UPS, yes my packages haven't arrived, been two weeks. Yeah, TWO chickens, ya know, feathers, chickenchitt, and such, hard to miss...."
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I've had barred rocks for years, good chickens, easy keepers.

Does anyone have experience with the treatment for vent gleet? The wife thinks one of our hens might have it.
If there's any doubt, then there is no doubt... The gut don't never lie.

Started my backyard chicken flock three years ago. I keep about 14 at all times. Mostly RIR and Golden Comet laying hens. One Barred Rock rooster just for noise. He's a cool dude and laid back. Not the least bit aggressive.

do you mean when they have crap collecting around their vent ? Pretty much yeah. Never had any issues but this seems excessive. Can't see how it would be gleet reading about causes because she takes really good care of them. Just not sure what else it could be...

Not the least bit aggressive. I have 4 rir nd 3 tetra browns . I've gotten 26 eggs in the last 4 days with 7 hens. Im glad to hear the barred rocks make good roosters.I got 6 of them and I was hoping for a good rooster. the rir roosters I had where mean as a snake !

Can't see how it would be gleet reading about causes because she takes really good care of them. Just not sure what else it could be... when we've had similar problems in the past we hose em off good and rub coconut oil around their vent as needed.

I checked on her this morning. She's going down quick. Gotta be something else, but for the life of me, no idea what.

I checked on her this morning. She's going down quick. Gotta be something else, but for the life of me, no idea what. Is she egg bound? I've had chickens for a number of years now and sometimes the little buggers just die....I've had two or three just kill over...never did figure out what happened.
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.
