Rescued baby chicken - Vent

| Hi everyone, I brought home a baby lavender Orpington who had a bloody vent. I’ve had chickens for a while and know they shouldn’t be alone and prefer to keep this post positive rather than told to get her a friend or, rehome. She’s doing much better and likely will be a lap chicken that I integrate into my flock. I wanted to know if anyone has seen a prolapsed vent in a baby chick and how to heal it. I’ve had her a week. She gets her vent cleaned and seems to be thriving. Photos for view :) [link] [comments] |
