Chicken bald back

[freespiritbutterfly]

Hi there, One of my chickens seems to be bleeding around her vent area? The vent itself is normal it's not popped out or anything but her 'knickers' have a reddish tinge to them. ( she is white so more noticeable) When cleaning her out this morning there were drops of blood on the roasting bars but the strange thing is that in herself she's absolutely fine? She's still eating and drinking, her crop is red and she's laying well. I don't know what to do?

 

Just wondering if anyone has come across this before? There is no local vets near me that will see chickens and the internet hasn't come up with anything yet?

Has she been pecked by one of the others? Or caught herself on something?

 

If she is bleeding you will need to separate her as the others will be attracted to the blood and keep pecking her. Do you have any of the purple spray, sorry I can't think of its name?

Hi thanks for replying,

Is the purple spray like anti peck spray with anti bac in it? I'm on the hunt for some of that today.

Brill thank you. I've just popped out and got some anti peck spray and some anti bac wound powder so fingers crossed that does the trick.

 

Thanks for your help.
