This morning I fed the chickens and one of my adult BO hens was on the ground, on her right side, comb bloodied from being pecked ( I assume). I sat her up but she repeatedly flopped back over to that right side. a couple of times she managed to balance, croched down. She does not appear to have been down for very long, she had only fresh poop on the right side from lying down.
she seems alert, was clucking when I picked her up. I sepereated her from the rest of the flock, put a dish of pellets, water, and a big leaf of chard right next to her. when I left her she was eating the chard, so that's good.
what do you guys think it is? I hope she recovers!!
