I only spoke with him on the phone, and he wasn't exactly sure. He just advised me on how to treat the wound. He speculated that 1) it was an abscess. 2) a minor injury that that the others pecked at and it got infected. 3) a predator got her and infection set in. Regardless, his treatment...

Thank you all so much for the helpful information. I spoke with a poultry vet, and he gave me a lot of great advice. I'm proud to report that she is healing. Slowly but surely. I'm even seeing some feathers trying to peek out on her bare rear end.

Under VERY close supervision, she got out of CCU to have q snack with the other girls. You don't have to beg her to eat. Question, can it be flustrike even if there are no signs of flies or maggots?

How's that for dedication, she's in CCU and still laying. I'm so hopeful that she is going to pull thru this awful mess.

It's below her vent and slightly to the right. Everything is soft. I soaked her this morning and treated the area. She still seems fine. I also isolated her to make sure the others don't get too nosey and peck around at it.

There aren't any vets that treat chickens anywhere near where we live here in Arkansas. My mind is just blown. She isn't acting any different. I've looked at information on egg binding and such, but none seem to fit.

I'm out with my chickens multiple times daily. Everyone was eating watermelon when I noticed one of my hens rear feathers were lopsided. Upon further inspection, I about died. The wound is on the side of her rear ended. I don't have any roosters. She acts just fine. Is this a partial egg or her...
