One of my hens had a really messy butt so I tried to clean it and found that it has a huge swollen, very red place to side of vent, behind leg. I tried to clean, clip feathers away to get to mess, put antiseptic ointment all over sore. What do I do!? I'm afraid she is going to die.
I am new to site but have had chickens for several years. Still MUCH to learn. So glad this is available!
One VERY mean rooster (Rooster Cogburn), two non-laying Americaunas, one new Ameraucana, one fantastic RIR (Little Red Hen), two new Barred Plymouth Rocks, one new New Hampshire Red (?)...
