Sick Chicken - Advice Needed PLEASE

[marcf]

Hi All,

Thank you for reading this post.

About 3 days ago my chickens got attacked by a Brush Turkey.

I believe its attempted to mate (rape) them.

One of the chickens has been hurt quite badly and really need some advise on what to do..

It's got a white and bloody discharge from its egg hole. The smell is strong and disgusting.

Picture below...sorry if this makes you a little sick!

Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers
Marc

Please post on "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread. This poor hen needs help fast. Chickens recover often from very serious wounds but, I think this damage is just too severe.

How awful to happen to her. I'm so sorry for you both.

x2 I would take her to the vet.

That looks bad... I would bathe the hen and try to get a better idea of what is wrong. Just use some warm, soapy water and then pat-dry her with a towel. But it may be best to cull her.

Marc, is the hen still living/improving?
