Hi folks.
We done the usual searches here, and haven't quite found the answer.
We have a hen, a white leghorn, with saddle back. She is fine, just a little worn. One of four hens in the coop with the rooster, and perhaps his favorite and dominate hen, so....you know what happens. It's been a long winter for them.
She isn't bleeding, or wounded, as as they are starting to range more, etc, I think her feathers will come back in. However she does seem a bit raw and red. Like I said, nothing open wounds, etc, just like...well...chaffing.
Suggestions for ointments or salves? We are a natural health family, living in the mountains of Appalachia, so we deal with out own dry chapped skin all winter as well. The instinctive thing is Aloe Cream, or hand salve. Burt's Bees is a bit expensive to put on a hen.
So...suggestions?
