Was she attacked by other chickens? I had a similar experience a few years ago, and my girl had been bullied by a rooster and then all the others started picking on her because of the blood. we thought she would die but we brought her in the garage and cleaned her up and put neosporin on the...

Thanks, I have another broody, I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on her

Thanks for your reply! There really Were no signs of being pecked at. That's why I was so confused by the large amount of intestine but no external injuries. Do you know if long term broodiness will make a hen more prone to issues when she starts to lay again?

1.5 year old true blue whiting. Has been broody on and off since spring. Found her dead in the run this morning. Knew she was missing last night but couldn't find her in the dark. She had about 12 inches of intestine coming out of her vent and organs protruding. When I moved her around a yolk...

we treated her with the ivermectin for cattle last night. We sprayed her with bluekote so I don't know if you can see the broken feather stubs on her butt. I'm hoping they'll just fall out? I'm worried about infection.

Thanks, I'm going to exchange it, better safe than sorry. The sheep drench appears to have a much lower percentage of pesticide in the solution.

Is this kind okay? The one you showed was for cattle. When I get her out to treat her I will get some pics of her skin and feathers.

Thanks for your help!

She is eating and drinking now and she has pooped. I didn't get a picture before we put bluekote on her. The broken feathers look like old ones, they appear to be hollow. She is picking at herself a lot. Have you ever seen a chicken damage it's own skin when it's molting? I think that may be...

Goldie has healed nicely, we are amazed at how resilient chickens are! Since we had the option we decided to separate them permanently. I now have Goldie and two of her sisters and Mijo went to my sister along with his main squeeze, Mrs. Brown. We were concerned that he may be too aggressive...

Could he really have done that much damage on his own?! The skin was literally gone. The girls are 7 1/2 months and he is 3 weeks younger. We introduced him about 2 months ago after his whole flock (my sister's) was wiped out in one night, he was the lone survivor. She was the leader of the...

The 1st picture is how we found her on Saturday afternoon, I'm not sure who did this to her. She was in their house and the other 3 pullets and 1 cockerel were all out in the pen when I went to let them out to run the yard for a bit before it got dark. The pen is fully enclosed with half inch...
