    She's completely healed and fits in with the flock just fine. She has no exposed skull and feathers are growing back where I didn't expect. She's also hand tamed and doesn't seem to have mental trama which is a relief! I'm very happy she's making a full recovery and living life to the fullest as...

    This is yesterday's update. I gave her calcium sand to dirt bath in and it stuck to the Neosporin on her head. Maybe it wasn't my greatest idea but she sure had fun. I did my best to rinse off the sand and put more Neosporin on. It's healing it's just taking a long time. I'll keep everyone posted.

    The laser thermometer reads her head temp at 90 degrees and her back/body temp 100.5 so her head is staying cool. I haven't given her much time to dry out I didn't know if letting things dry would prevent skin from growing over the bone? Maybe I'll give her a rinse of saline tonight and then...

    This chick was scalped 2 nights ago. The first night I used peroxide, saline and white cream Neosporin. The next morning I tried taking off the Neosporin but some of it wouldn't come off. I used saline and then iodine to rinse it after getting off as much cream as I could. Then applied clear...
