    Hello all! Just wanted to give an update and say thank you for your suggestions! Her wound has healed beautifully :) But now I have a different problem. The other hens, more specifically one that I've seen with my own eyes, keep pulling off her feathers! I was very excited to see she had...

    {Graphic} Does My Hen Need Stitches?!

    Thank You! Here's a little update on Daisy. Her wound is almost completely closed, just a tad bit left. And, to my surprise , she laid an egg yesterday! I don't know if it hurt to lay the egg, but I think she's feeling way better. She's very loud and vocal, so that makes me think she's...

    It doesn't extend all the way to her abdomen, it's mostly just her tail area. It's almost as if her entire tail is hanging by a little bit of skin. I'll try to take better pictures soon. But couldn't I just keep the bandages on tight (not too tight) and that will help with the healing instead...

    {Graphic} Does My Hen Need Stitches?!

    This morning we found my hen, Daisy, knocked out cold and laying on her side. It turns out she has a giant gash around her tail area. She had on a knit sweater because she has a bald spot, and it appeared the sweater was torn off as well. She is smaller than the other chickens, her feathers were...
