I noticed the other day that Burton (black hen) had a few feathers missing, I thought that maybe they had been fighting so I didn't do anything... yesterday while feeding the chickens I was leaving and noticed that Burton had a huge hole in her. I am very upset. I have had Burton since last April... I raised her and three other from chicks. My neighbor a few months back gave me this rooster... he is a beautiful rooster, sortof blue black in color... but I can't have this... I lost one last month it is a long story... but the rooster or another hen scared her to death!! she started hiding and not eating... I separated her but it was too late. For treatment I separated Burton from all the others and I put a pad and cloth on the wound.. is there any thing else I can do...( I hope these pictures go through...) thank you for any help. Also I am finding some eggs broken and just the shells.. I think some are eating the eggs!!
The one picture below is a few weeks old.. as you can see Burton the only black hen I have is alright.
