- Susan, I'm sorry to hear what happened to your hens. There is no understanding why nature does what she does sometimes. We just have to adjust course and continue on. Good for you, putting the perpetrators in the freezer! That'll teach 'em.

- Hi there. I'm just catching up reading all the posts in "The Pecking Order". I saw your dillema over the chicken that bled passing an egg. Did anyone respond to you with a satisfactory response? Blood is not uncommon when a chicken passes an egg. It happens occassionally. It just means it was a hard pass. You should only be concerned if the chicken develops a continuous flow of blood, which might indicate an ifection that has caused some internal damage. But that is not common. I've seen plenty of eggs with a spot of blood on them, over the years.

Katherine Turcotte said… - Do you have a local vet that can humanely put the hen down? Why the pecking? Are they hens pecking eachother? What part of the body are they pecking - under the chicken, or the head area?

Wild Flora said… - Hi again, Susan. I just noticed your query about the blood on your auracana chicken on another list. I have had the same problem with my Muscovy ducks a couple of times this winter. After getting myself badly scratched up (they have big claws) I managed to determine that the blood was coming from cuts on their feet and legs. Evidently the cuts bled heavily, which is how they ended up getting their undersides all bloody. I still don't know what caused the cuts -- possibly it's related to the cold (it seems to coincide with cold snaps). However, I can tell you that it hasn't happened often and that the cuts seem to heal up fine with no adverse consequences. The blood is quite alarming to see, though! Of course, I don't know whether what happened to your chickens is the same as what happened to my ducks, but if you're not seeing any indication that their bodies are injured I would check the feet and legs.

- Hi Susan, was your chicken with the blood at vent okay? All I could think of was that either another chicken picked at her or she had some gunk stuck and it came off and made her bleed. I hope she is okay? Weird things can happen to chickens and I am no virgin to chicken problems, trust me on that one lol

Ann G. said… - Susan -- what a lovely offer. Thank you. I will let you know when we are coming to that area. I agree with you on the biology issue. It has been treated as a school subject by most. But honestly it is crucial information for connecting with the world around us, rather than living outside the world and using it.
