Hello All,
I need some help with regards to an injured hen. We have 10 Chanticleer Hens and one Rooster we noticed today the the Rooster has pulled all the feathers off the top of one hens head and pecked a hole to her skull. We have put Hibitane Veterinary ointment on it and bandaged it and we have put her in with our Silkie hens. Will she survive this kind of injury and once she is healed should we keep her away form the rooster? This is the first time I've dealt with chickens so not sure how to handle this.
