Happy Mrs Chicken Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 One of my hens has had a mucky bum for a couple of days and this morning she layed a normal egg but there was a bit of blood on it and a bit on the straw in the nest box.I have just given her a bath and can't see any signs of mites,maggots or blood.Could a mucky bum be a sign of worms? I am going to start worming with flubenvet today and going to put some mite powder on aswell.She is eating normally and seems ok in herself.

Egluntyne Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 A mucky bum can be a sign of worms. Starting her on Flubenvet is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Mrs Chicken Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Went to collect eggs this morning and my hens bum was covered in blood had to take her out as other hens were pecking her.I bathed her again and while i was blow drying her she did a poo and her insides seem to pop out i think she may have a prolapse? Going to take to vets today.If it is a prolapse can anything be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
