This afternoon when I went to collect eggs, one had blood on the outside like when the pullet was laying it, it was straining and really had to push it out. I checked her butt and her anus seemed swollen and had poop stuck all around it.
What should I do? If she lays an egg every day, I don't want her in pain from laying an egg. Nor do I want the others to start pecking her. What kind of medicine do I put on her butt to make the swelling go down? Do I keep her in a separate spot away from the others?
She seems completely fine, eating, drinking, running around. I haven't see her poop yet today but assume she is doing that too. In the run there are some HUGE poops like one of my girls is constipated and when she finally went, a ton came out.
Any suggestions or advice is appreciated!
