Need help!!!! What’s wrong and how can I cure her?

Her vent may have been pecked by other chickens. It can lead to death if this goes on. Do you know why her hocks have sores on them? How is she being kept? How old is she? Is she setting or walking on her hocks? Are her toes curled under? I would put some antibiotic ointment on her vent and on her hock sores. Place her on clean dry bedding or on a clean towel. Keep her separated.

She’s my only chicken. I’m currently giving her warm baths and applied antiseptic to wash it off. She’s walking fine and eating drinking water fine. Looks like she pushing. Maybe eggbound?

Do you have any calcium tablets or Tums? Calcium citrate with D is good. Give her one tablet orally, and cut in half if it is Tums. She can swallow a tablet. That can help muscle contractions if she is egg bound. Is she pecking at her vent? She may be egg bound or having a prolapse that has gone by in, or both. Just use something mild on her vent, such as antibiotic ointment, coconut oil, Vetericyn etc.

So you know why she has sores on her hocks? Is she having trouble walking or sitting on damp bedding?

I give her wormsking everyday and she eating normally. I did apply some antibiotic ointment now.

I think she has sores in her hocks bc she has been only laying on the concrete in our backyard looking for me. But I check on her everyday and until today I noticed it.

She has a coop and always, usually sleeps there. I use pine shavings.

I would try giving her 1/2 tablet of human B complex daily, crushed into a small bit of egg or food. That can help if she has a riboflavin deficiency, and has been resting on her hocks. What do you feed her?

Layer feed along with garden delight. Fruit and veggies.

Her layer feed is balanced and has all she needs. Adding a lot of extras may throw the balance off and cause a vitamin deficiency. Chickens do better with other chickens. Keep the antibiotic ointment on her vent and hock sores and let us know how she is doing.
