Chirping
This happened yesterday afternoon sometime, and treatment started within an hour or two (I believe) of injury.
Injuries between wings on back, 'shoulder' of left wing and either side of the base of the tail. Skin completely gone in those area, can see muscle. No apparent puncture wounds. Wounds have been cleaned and Vetericyn applied. Chick is in cat carrier sitting partially on a heating pad for warmth, in a quiet location. She is eating, drinking and pooping normally, quiet but alert. Wounds appeared dry this morning, and more vetericyn applied. Maybe I should've reapplied vetericyn during the night to keep it moist?
I had moved the chicks out to the big coop to brood, (my first time raising chicks) and things went great the first night and the chicks love the sunshine. The hens (4 of them) cannot get into the brood area, and I thought the chicks could not get out, when I found her she was in the brooder area with the others. The other chicks were not going after her. Anyway, I'm wondering what her chances are?
