WHAT IS WRONG???

[Kenzie22]

Your hen looks like she was pecked and cannibalized by the other chickens. Sometimes they can have a prolapsed vent that is red and attracts pecking. Sometimes it is because of overcrowding and boredom. Once she is cleaned up with a soak in warm soapy water or Epsom salts water, take a closeup of her vent. If she has a prolapse, the red tissue needs to be kept moist with Neosporin, oil or vaseline until you can push it back inside. Here is a good article about prolapses:

Here is some reading about cannibalism and causes:

I know that it has been a long time since I made this thread, but what causes cannibalism?
