I have several chickens which I got on fathers day this year. From the beginning there was one girl, we named her "Milton" because we were told she was moulting. Well she wasnt. She was the bottom of the pecking order. To boot she's blind in at least one eye and cant really see much out of the other.
Over the past few days things have gotten really bad. She's started doing this wierd craning thing with her head. One or two of the other younger chickens force her into a corner and go to town on her. She hides her face and takes it. Tonight I went to see her and she's bleeding around the butt area. Ive tried hot pick, the purple ointment and nothing is working.
I dont have another coop, even a small one. She sleeps in one of the nesting boxes. I really dont know what to do because she's not gonna be able to take much more. Any ideas for a quick solution. I'd hate to cull her but I dont have the time to build another coop and run.
Any and all advice will be appreciated.
