Was looking to see if this problem was listed and did not see it so here goes...I have a Plymouth rock girl who has been brooding for a couple weeks now and today she was off the nest and her sister was on the eggs I found her by the fence kinda lethargic and picked her up. I then checked her underside and saw that she was raw and all her feathers were stuck together with poo and as I looked further a big chunk of her underside came off and left a 2in long hole.i then cleaned and clipped her feathers and applied hydrogen peroxide and a thin layer of antiseptic and separated her.what could have caused that?Is it from not leaving her eggs?and what else can I do to help her?i appreciate any input thanks
