Walked into the coop the other day and saw my White Leghorn (she’s a couple months over 1 year) with a sort of bruised vent. She had a bloody egg that day too. Didn‘t think much of it because she was pretty much normal, with her crop bulging (she eats a LOT normally), so we put on some Neosporin near the vent. However this morning she wasn’t chasing the other hens when they had food. Now she is limping on her left foot and sitting down every couple steps. She’s at the top of the pecking order, but some other hens are pecking her butt feathers.
Doesn anyone know what to do? Already lost a hen like this, don’t want to lose another. Photos attached. Any help appreciated!
