I have a 9 month old Black Jersey Hen about 5-6 lbs her back and sides under her wings are just mutilated...holes through the skin... open wounds she is a mess I am almost afraid to touch her that I may be causing more pain.
I have taken her inside she is in the basement were it is warm I gave...

Thank You for the info I hope I can get her better she is a mess!
I almost can't look at her...
The hens do have have some breeding damage... and for one thing I have too many roosters this is the first time I have had this happen, but I see I will have to get them seperated...
I do not know where you are but I go to Mt Hope Feed Mill in Ohio which I think is Amish owned?
I pay $13.00 for a 50lb bag it may be higher now >>>GAS PRICES<<<<<
Not sure if the price I pay is good or bad to you???
I came home today after work and went up to feed & water my 9 month old flock and found my Black Jersey Hen crouched by the heat lamp all by herself trying to keep warm and away from the others...it seems because they had butchered her her back and under her wings looks like hamburger!!! I do...
