My poor Brahma she’s 6 1/2 years old Is not feeling well at all. First she was making a very low different clucking noise I noticed which I did post that video took me hours to figure it out but I did. I checked her feet I checked her crop. Then I cleaned her bottom off and I noticed she had a red swollen spot near her vent on the right side of it. I put her in the outside sink almost every day and wash it off with a little sprayer. But I noticed when she’s eating her vent is Vibrating that’s the only word I could think of right now, like she’s trying to use the bathroom or lay an egg. I did check her she’s not egg bound. And yesterday when I was cleaning her bottom off it was very very hot very warm. Yesterday she tried to stay away from the other flock which we only have four chickens total. She pants really bad during that the hot part of the day. I’ve been trying . everything to keep her cool. We live in northern Florida. I believe she has vent Greek. Because her bottom is all red and there was some white stuff there. Also I believe all the chickens have poultry pox. Call Lee my poor chickens I try so hard to take good care of them.I’ve had a lot of great people help me I really appreciate them.I studied and found out that I had to soak her in Epson salts for about 10 minutes which she loved. She was falling asleep kind of packing very lightly at my arm. Then I had to go to the store and get some fungus medicine. It said to use it like for athletes foot so that’s what I did and I put that on her bottom. I was told from the people here that poultry pox you really can’t do anything for them. Unless it’s so hard near an area you can put some lubrication there to help them feel better most of it is on their little beaks. I was almost tempted to take her in and put her in a cage and my laundry room so she would be out of the heat. But then I hate to take her away from the flock I know that can cause a problem. I’ve tried so many different things to help them with the heat of course. Now it’s saying I can’t give her watermelon especially to give them runny stools because of her problem with her vent. If anybody has any other advice please let me know I’d greatly appreciate it
