Hi chicken experts, hoping you can give me some advice as I'm not very experienced with chicken injuries!
In the fall we had a rooster who was over breeding the hens so I sent him away. This was his favorite hen. I thought with time it would heal up but it's been a few months and looks the same. Since about Feb 1st she was likely bred by a different younger rooster who came with my hatched pullets, he was sold earlier in the week. In the time between having the two roosters it wasn't healing. What should I do? I don't see any other hens pecking it but it definitely hasn't started to heal since the initial injury. I've bought some saddles to put on any favorite hens in the future if we get another accidental rooster but my goal is to find cockerals new homes before being intergrated into the flock. Thanks for your expertise!
