In the Brooder
Hi everyone,
I am hoping some one can give me some answers or ease my mind.
Tonight I saw my 2 year old EE had a bloody butt. She was acting perfectly fine. After cleaning her up it looks like the flap ( for lack of a better description) is tattered and raw looking. there looks as if there might me some raw areas below the vent also. None of the blood looks like it is coming from the vent itself.
I've cleaned her up with Vetericyn and Pick no More. Then put her in her own dark space on a clean towel. She is still spotting and being new at this not sure when there is an issue of bleeding to death.
So with that, 2 Questions....
What could have caused this?
Is it easy for a chicken to bleed to death.
