Chicken bleeding butt

[Queensilkie]

@Queensilkie Don't know if you can help

Is there any chance that it was prolapsed and then pecked at my another hen? Does there appear to be a wound or is it bleeding from the inside?

Well I don't want to jinx myself yet. I'm worried she might not be able to be put back in with her sisters after this but fingers crossed she heals well and can recoop together

How’s she doing now?

She's still struggling to poo but that must be from the infection and sore butt from being pecked at , trying to give her antibiotics but so hard when she struggles most goes all over her face but getting there. I will upload a photo tomorrow on how she is looking

If it is a tablet or capsule you can just pop it in the back of the beak to swallow. If it is liquid, this article may be helpful:

A little chilled coconut oil cut into tiny pieces is usally attractive to chickens to peck, and may soften the droppings. Mineral oil as well, but added into some food works as well.

You may try taking a large syringe, covering it in vasoline and inserting the tip into the vent and gently flushing the vent out with some lukewarm water. It could help clean out any dirt, or dried blood, or other nasties in the wound.

It is a tablet but the vet gave me a syringe to break it up with a little water and squirt down her beak

I think she's doing better , although she doesn't like her smaller coop but this is the best photo I have at the moment. She struggles alot when giving the antibiotics but I'm getting a lot of it in which I hope will be enough. Will keep updating just hoping she will heal quick and be ok

Hi everyone it's been almost a week thought I'd give an update. Her butt feathers still looking raggy but I have been giving her her antibiotics crushed in tuna cause I can't open her mouth when I'm by myself. I'm worried that the other chickens won't accept her when she goes back even though her temp coop is next to theirs. But I'm praying she gets better and they can rejoin easy

Her butts nearly healed now im just wondering how long should I wait before trying to put her back with the other girls.
