About a week ago I found one of my chicks tail feathers and vent had been pecked by others and it was raw and bloody looking. She is separated and in a bird cage inside the brooder so she can see others. I’ve been applying Vetericyn and Blue Kote. It has been healing up nicely although she is picking feathers herself. I do not believe she has injured herself, I believe she has just made the bald spot 3 times larger. I believe she does this after I apply medicines.
My biggest worry is I’m wondering if her vent is infected and if she may need antibiotics? She seems like she is in extreme pain and cries out loudly every time she poops.
She is eating and drinking good and otherwise seems healthy
