    Old hen laid first time in a year. Now butt bleeding.

    My old Americauna hen stopped laying a year ago. No problem. She is a pet. Today she laid a beautiful green egg again, but it was bloody along with her butt. I cleaned her butt. Husband went to see her an hour later and she was fine. I'm thinking she may have been egg bound or prolapsed. She's...
