Hello everyone we have recently got our hens after waiting for them we have 4 in total 1 white Suffolk called grace 1x black called elsie and 2 x ex batts which have been with us for 2 weeks called Bertha and henrietta recently Bertha has developed a limp and her bum looks really sore and seems to have a lot of poo round it ie feathers are all gone is this something to do with Bein an ex battery hen or is it something more sinister look forward to speaking with you all

do you think the others may be pecking at your bum?

 

[lovemyhens35]

I hope they are not pecking my bum lol no I don't think so as she seems to be the more dominant one she also keeps pecking at her right foot too :/

Welcome to BYC!

Hope your chicken is alright! I'd observe her closely and see if anyone is pecking at her.
