    Unknown Type of abscess?

    Hi all, I'm delayed in updated but have been so busy. I went to the vet last week and they told me it was her intestines that were protruding out and that she had an infection. She must've had he infection and it got cut open or it was cut and the infection grew from there but I'm sure the day...

    Unknown Type of abscess?

    I did a more thorough investigation yesterday because the area was a lot cleaner and I could see it better and the mass is below the vent not on it.

    Unknown Type of abscess?

    Thank you for your suggestions. It just seemed to happen so fast. She's our biggest chicken and never gets pecked at as she's at the top of the pecking order but they could've done it the day it happened and I wouldn't have known.

    Unknown Type of abscess?

    My chicken was sitting in the nesting box longer than usual today and finally when it was way past laying time I took her out of the box and noticed a discharge and bad smell. I was actually waiting to give her a bath all day so I took her to the bath and noticed on/near her vent there was a...
