Bleeding Hen From the Rooster?

[Jenny28]

Hi all, one of our hens appears to be bleeding a little off and on from her back end, I believe she is our rooster, Charlie's favorite. Has anyone ever seen this happen? Should I pine tar it or just watch and see? She is still laying BTW.

Tail area? Vent area? Bleeding from vent? Below vent?
If your roo broke off one of her feathers, that can cause a little bleeding, as can a roo whose spurs are too long & sharp (I picked up a hen once whose one side had been cut open & skinned by a spur, and she recovered).
Where on her back end is the blood? And how old is she?

Is it on top of her butt, or the um, where the egg comes out? Could she be eggbound? Prolapse? Need more info.

It appears to be below vent area. She is one of the harder ones to catch, I will have to look more closely when I grab her during roosting time. She is about 10 months old. I don't believe she is egg bound, she is one our better layers and I have seen and heard her in the nesting boxes today. No funny shaped or abnormally large eggs. I'll keep you all posted when I can take a better look this evening.

She may fool you, maybe she is trying, but nothing's coming out... see tonite
