Help please! My hen has a large hole under vent, no signs of flystrike.

Thank you both for the added advice.
After a round of antibiotics and daily epsom salt soaks there was no marked improvement. I couldn’t watch her get worse after stopping the antibiotics so I made the decision to cull her.
Definitely a learning experience and even though it didn’t work out for the best I know I came to the right place for advice.
Thank you all for the support!

I'm sorry about your hen

I'm sorry too but I'm glad she's no longer suffering. Thank you for the update.

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine having to make that decision for one of my feathers. It’s hard enough for my fur babies. My feathers are even more dear to me. I do think you made the right decision though, and if you learned something from it then it was not in vain.
