I've wondered about her getting too much of the antibiotic cream too. I know she gets some because it spreads around as she moves. I don't know that it would necessarily hurt her, I would think it would probably just "slide right through" her system. We are going to attempt (again!) to wrap it with the vet wrap. it's just at such an awkward angle. We are feeding her lots of good stuff and I reminded my daughter to giver her grit since she can't find it on her own right now.
I don't think the skin would come together to glue, but I think I'll gently check next time we slather her up. It might at least encourage me that it is making progress. The large area of skin was totally ripped off. Either way, I'll be very cautious with whatever we consider. We've come too far to mess it up now!
When it is time to bring her back out, I figure we will start slow and keep her in something (old playpen is a great idea) and keep really close tabs as she integrates back with the other 4. Her limp may still be an issue at that point. She may have to stay confined in the run until she can move good.
Nice to hear that others' chicken's skin has eventually come back!
