This image depicts a close-up, rear view of a white chicken confined within a wire mesh enclosure in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria. The primary subject chicken exhibits severe injury around its vent area, characterized by extensive redness, inflammation, and what appears to be exposed tissue or matted, soiled feathers. Dark, coarse debris or feathers are visibly attached to the raw, reddish skin. Its legs are pinkish-yellow, scaly, and appear dirty, with one foot splayed on the brown, particulate ground material, consistent with dirt or wood shavings. Other blurry white chickens are partially visible in the background, also behind the hexagonal wire mesh, suggesting multiple birds in the same enclosure. No human subjects are visible.
