Hi there,
My Barred Rock hen, Sylvia, has a large sore on her bottom, behind her right leg. I have no idea how/when she got it, as she has been snowing no signs of being injured or sick at all, which is why I hadn't noticed it earlier. It's about 3/4" wide, and about 4" long and looks very nasty, though she's eating, acting normal, and laying every day.
I separated her from the flock and am wondering if I should try cleaning it or if it would be best to just leave her alone and hope for the best.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
THANKS!
Steve
