Chook bleeding from vent... eeeek
« on: March 16, 2009, 09:48 »
 :(

I was dusting my white wyandotte for mites yesterday and I realised that what I thought was poo making her bottom dirty was actually dried blood.  She has been bleeding from her vent and was still bleeding yesterday.  It's only a small amount.  She seems fine if a bit thinner, and she is laying although the last one was a funny shape.  I'm really worried about her and completely flumoxed about what it might be. 

Could anyone help please?

sometimes they can tear a bit when they lay the egg.
and i think that blood sometimes accompanies prolapse (where the vent turns inside out)

I don't know what else it could be, but someone else will know, i'm sure.

It might be worth bathing the area to get a full idea of where the blood is coming from and if it's still happening.
is she pooing or is it just blood?

if she's not pooing, then it could be something serious.
if she'd still doing it by the end of today, that makes 3 days and i would take her to the vet.

Thanks loads for your response.  It's definitely not a prolapse and poo seems normal and she laid yesterday so I'll just keep an eye on her for the mo

Thanks again

Just another thought. Could she be bullied ?
Might be that she's being pecked. :(
