I would take Google with a grain of salt. Textbook vent removal? Its very uncommon for other birds to attack others to this extent. If she was injured there with visible damage, blood, etc, I could see why this may happen. If she is healthy with no injuries in the location prior, I highly doubt other birds were the main cause here.You can google it
You can google for confirmation, this is a somewhat rare occurrence, however it is textbook vent removal by other hens.
Ok! Can you take a warm rag and clean her off a bit more and get better pictures?Yes as best I could she is quite hard for me to handle my fiance usually handles her when needed but he is at work for another 6 to 8 hours
I have video cameras and saw a dog in our yard before I got home. She was in shock still when i finally made it home 10 min later.That is not from a dog, unfortunately hens can be aggressive to other hens. They will sometimes do what you pictured to another hen. This is also a fatal wound as the vent has been removed.
Never mind then!I have video cameras and saw a dog in our yard before I got home. She was in shock still when i finally made it home 10 min later.
Where is your hen currently? What is her setup? Is she separated and being treated for shock?I have video cameras and saw a dog in our yard before I got home. She was in shock still when i finally made it home 10 min later.
You are correct, however this wound is fatal. The vent has been completely removed. Honestly she is suffering right now, and there is no way to repair this type of damage. I have performed surgeries on prolapse hens successfully, the vent for this girl is completely gone.I would take Google with a grain of salt. Textbook vent removal? Its very uncommon for other birds to attack others to this extent. If she was injured there with visible damage, blood, etc, I could see why this may happen. If she is healthy with no injuries in the location prior, I highly doubt other birds were the main cause here.
Anyway, this is beside the point. Lets steer back on track to helping OP make the best decision for this hen.
Did you clean it??
Best I can do cleaning it currently trying to figure out if she can survive this before I put her in a salt bath dont want to cause her more pain.I'm not really sure what happened to her or if I'm allowed to also post about turkeys however I came home to her butt torn open from what I can only assume if from the neighbor's dog. I'm not sure if she will survive. I separated her from the flock I just need some advice on what to do from here. I have also spayed it with salt water to clean the area and help prevent infection.
