Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

The area needs to be thoroughly cleaned with warm water and soap, and then an antibiotic applied. Be sure to remove all the eggs as well, check the surrounding feathers carefully. Then get your hen on an antibiotic.

Unfortunately most of the time a chicken that ill will not make it - hope yours does.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Good luck with your hen, hope she makes it.

. You should also try this in the Emergency section. If she does make it she will have a road of recover ahead of her.
