    Injured chickens after dog attack

    Hi @Hedwigsmom just read through your thread. So sorry to read about your flock, heartbreaking. You’ve shown such love and dedication though, in helping and healing your chickens. I hope the wounded are soon healed and they settle back down again. Sending my best wishes from Cheshire, UK.

    Has impaction turned sour crop but is still hungry and energetic?

    Hi @Ccort so sorry she’s not any better. I’ve never lost a hen with sour crop so can’t give a view. Just wanted to say though it’s obvious how much you love her, and are committed to her wellbeing ♥️ I’m in the UK and out of sync with the response times, so hope she’s still with you this...

    Totally get that, and 100% agree. There’s a fine line between doing all you can and trying anything, and by the sounds you’re doing absolutely right by her. Sending my best and I hope she turns a corner. x

    Post in thread 'Crop That Won't Empty' https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/crop-that-wont-empty.1231683/post-19766770 This was the recipe I used. I was really concerned re: aspiration. Was careful to slowly drip the mixture at the side of her beak and not squirt any into her throat...

    Has impaction turned sour crop but is still hungry and energetic?

    Hi, ah that’s good that the vet has seen her. I was just trying to find a post on here that I referred to when I had some crop issues with an ex-commercial / battery hen I adopted earlier this year. She had an impacted crop - went from cage to free ranging in a short time and I didn’t think...

    Favus?

    Thanks @Shadrack I’ve been using disposable gloves when putting anti fungal cream on her comb for the last 3 days. Today it looked a lot more like the skin on her comb is peeling and the swelling has gone down now, and I can see that it is only on the top side of her comb (it flops over)...

    Thanks so much @Wyorp Rock yep, she’s doing ok 🤞 just don’t want to miss anything that will jeopardise that. Have applied the anti fungal cream again this morning, and have left her happily munching through her breakfast! Hopefully @Shadrack will chirp in too, I see they are in Bristol, so...

    Favus?

    I obviously want this to be anything but Favus! (have applied the anti fungal cream today however) am I clutching at straws to wonder whether, as a result of the recent scorching sun in the UK, that this might be sunburn on her comb? This summer would be the first time she’s been exposed to the...

    Favus?

    Hello @Wyorp Rock here she is this morning. She’s an ex-batt hen I’ve had her for 8 weeks. She sustained some peck scratches on her comb from the initial pecking order squabbles between the 3 ex batts I got together. She’s always been pale, her comb has shrunk as expected but she’s left with...
