hey guys

for a few days now my 11month old white wyndotte hen has been acting very strange, she been sleeping on the floor nudging her hean under her wing and on her back pulling at feathers.
its been a few days so i checked her for bugs and nothing everything seems fine but she is pulling out her feathers in patches and there is a little blood and yellow liquid dryed on her. could
this be molting im not sure im new to chickens,
 
I wouldn't expect blood and "yellow liquid" on her. Is she being picked on?
 
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. I had some things going on that I had to tend to.

What I would suggest you do is to contact a moderator about moving this thread to the emergencies section of the forum. There must be a reason for your hen to be doing this to herself; illness or a nutritional deficency.

I'm sorry I can't offer more help. Good luck to you.
