Hi there! I have had chickens for many years and have never had this issue till now and have no idea how to treat this hen.
I noticed my hen was bleeding on her back today and I took her out immediately and placed her in a confinement by herself.
I put bag balm on the wombs and then wrapped it with gauze because she keeps pecking at it.
How do I sterilize it or even take care of this? Is peroxide an option?
Also, is it okay to keep placing gauze on the womb since she keeps pecking at it?
It’s very wide/big and I can tell she’s in pain. I put some mite dust on her Incase she has irritation but there are no signs of bugs, and the other chickens have not bothered her. I only have hens.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
