Thank you so much! It’s so comforting to know hens can pull through such horrific things. They’re so resilient! The worst I’ve had so far is a failed hawk attack that almost ripped a baby chicks wing off, a failed fox attack that left puncture wounds in a hen and a make shift surgery to replace...
Thank you so so much! I am going to go add some ointment first thing in the morning. I will do vetricyn spray first! I also have iodine that I may use instead depending on what @Wyorp Rock recommends! Thank you again ❤️
