I have barns etc. Here is what happened...the chickens pecked her vent til she bled...I brought her in cleaned her up etc...was afraid that she was egg bound but she wasn't she got better and then I was stupid and put her back with them before she was totally healed up....so they pecked her again and made it to where her vent scabbed over to the point it would not stretch to let the egg pass. It was not a large egg. So...I'm hoping that If it heals up she should lay just fine.

What the rest of your flock you could have a trouble maker.

I killed my rooster a week ago cause he was pulling the feathers off my girls and slashing them open.....Half of them don't have feathers right now around their vents because of him....that is why they picked hers. I sat and watched him do it to several girls til I had had enough...he was being VERY hard on them to the point they would run from him squaking and he would dive at them grabbing feathers and yanking out whatever he could get ahold of.

Thank you to all those that helped! Snow bird just passed away in my arms...I didn't make it to help her in time I guess.

How are they getting out??? Isn't it funny how even a small change will effect them.

There going up and over, it is the same height as before, the same fencing just moved!!! They never even attempted before. Going to try bird netting and if that doesn't work we'll start clipping wings.

Thank you. I am not too awful sad as I had prepared for this to happen....but I was hoping it wouldn't. I'm more frustrated with myself....If I had known more earlier I maybe could have helped her more.

You can only act on what you know at the time. Even though you couldn't save this one, you have gained knowledge and experience that will help you save the next one.
