Tuesday night one of our Buffs was attacked by a dog. She has a small opening where feathers were ripped out about dime sized. So all in all not the worst from my research. However, this is our first injury. We have her in our medical coop (dog crate) and have been applying antibiotic spray. The wound is completely covered by her wing so I guess I have two questions:
How fast would something like that heal? I forgot to take a pic but I can upload later.
How long does she need to be away from the flock? Until it's completely healed? She never really bled and there hasn't been any blood in the last day and half.
She is eating and drinking and yesterday she even laid an egg. I just feel like I've been reading horror stories about re-integration to the flock so I want to minimize her away time.
