I was afraid that she would never be the same again, but having a house chicken won't work for us. I feel so sorry for her. I may just keep her in the dog pen I have her in and let her out by herself from time to time to free range. She is getting better every day. Thanks for your reply!

I have several neighbors that have chickens. I'll try to rehome her. Thanks!

Thank you!

I have 5 chickens and two weeks ago 4 of them started pecking one of them. They pecked her eye out and many of her feathers are gone. I separated her from the others and she has been separated for two weeks. I didn't know if she would make it, but she is better now. Her head is still swollen...

I've never seen any of the other hens pecking at her. I just don't want that to happen. I feel like if she continues to have the bloody egg problems that it will get worse and worse and infection will set in. Hopefully the antibiotic will work on her and I'll keep a close watch on her and if...

. I soaked her this morning and cleaned her up the best I could. I also trimmed her feathers around her vent. I'm not sure if her vent looks normal because I've not looked at any of my other chickens. I guess I should do that. I found another bloody egg in the coop this morning. This is...

I'm trying to add a photo we took this morning. I hope maybe you can see the mess that is going on here. I could not clean it up very good yesterday. The places I did clean up started bleeding like I was removing a scab from a wound so I stopped. This is day 4 in the basement. The RX that my vet...

The egg she laid yesterday had a small amount of blood on it. Nothing like it was the time before this one. I'm hoping the antibiotic will work it's magic and she will heal and be normal again. I may give her antibiotics for 5 days as the prescription says, then give her a rest. Then give...

I wanted to update those of you that replied to my email. I examined my girls vent and it is not a prolapsed cloaca. (judging by the pictures I've seen) She has a torn vent it looks like to me. It has this hard crust like scab all around her vent and the feathers all around her vent area is...

I'll try anything! Don't want to lose her. Does it have to be completely dark? I have a large dog crate that I could put her in and put her in our basement. I wonder how long I would need to keep her in the dark?

Since we were new chicken owners, I called my neighbor who is experienced. He examined her and said her vent seemed inflamed and had a slight tear in it. He thought maybe cleaning her up for a week and trying to doctor her this way would help her. It didn't seem to help. Then I tried the...

No, it's not inside her eggs. Only on the outside.

One of my Rhode Island Red is a little over a year old and has been laying for some time. We have only had her for 4 months. She has laid eggs with blood on them since we got her. We tried catching her and cleaning her vent and putting neosporin on it for 4 or 5 days, but that didn't seem to...
