    I'm sorry to hear your hen passed. I don't think I'd be able to get the bras to work either. After doing the surgery, I tried fitting her with an ace bandage wrap and she just squirmed her way out.

    Hello! It's been a few days since my last update. On Monday (8 days after surgery), I went to remove my hens stitches as the incision seemed to be healing well from the outside. I was surprised to find that her skin hadn't healed together, and as I began cleaning the area with some rubbing...

    Thanks EggWalrus and Happy Thanksgiving! I will be sure to close the crop completely. My only worry is with what. Super glue may be my only option, but it seems to be a poor option.

    Happy Thanksgiving! I'm so very thankful for the advice I've received from my friends of BYC. My Bonnie is so camera shy! lol...I tried to take several pics. Her comb normally falls to the side, but maybe it looks more slumped over today. I have seen her drink water this morning and last...
