I bought 15 barnyard mix for a dollar each there were a few maran EE just a variety Wyandotte I can tell with most but this one has baffled me. She is so interesting to look at my husband and I just can't figure it out. We call her our wild game bird like a partridge or chukar.
It's a mix hen but what two I don't know. For a second I thought just maybe a pheasant got the mom. I bought a whole bunch of chicks barnyard mix but none look like her. If anyone got one like this let me know. I give up.
Well when I used the chlorhexidine I did not need to bandaged let it dry so no infections can grow. Watch for flies number one problems vet see are maggot so don't be in a hurry to put back in coop until you know it's good. Some suggest blue kote if that is right to put on wounds so other birds...
Out of curiosity how is your hen today. You seem to do the right thing. When this happened to me my vet suggested chlorhexidine. It worked great.my little guy look like she was a goner but the next day she was her normal self. Hope yours gets better soon.
Hi my chick at 1 month got out and almost pecked to death she was so torn up and like less I was lost called doc and he said use chlorhexidine solution it helps heal and kill germs it worked over night. It's like soap you use one table spoon and dilute it because it strong with two table spoons...
