It’s soft and bleeds. It seems to be the skin pulled down from the leg. Like he was tied up with one foot

It is skin that was pulled down from the leg. It looks like someone had tied him up 😢

Would the skin be over the band? It is only on the front of the leg. Not the back. The band is soft and bleeds

It seems like it’s pretty infected. Maybe a few weeks🤷‍♀️

So I found him on the side of the road. He has a large hole in his foot, the skin is green. The band looking thing doesn’t seem to be a band but skin that is pulled down from the leg. I cleaned him up and gave him a penicillin shot. I soaked his feet in epsom salt and then used Neosporin...

:clap they are beautiful. I really like the white one ( Fluff,Fluff):thumbsup

In Va, you can shoot the dogs I'm sure it is the same in W.Va, I'm not one for killing anything but your neighbor has no regard for your animals so what choice do you have. When my neighbors dog got my chickens, she felt bad and started locking him up. She also said she would if he did it again...

Chickens like moths, but I would take it back and get a new bag. The feed store should do that with no problem. It must be older feed or a bad batch

I have found that once she gets up, you can pretty much forget the rest, unless you have another hen rite there. You said it has been 3 days, i'm sure the others are dead. sorry.

I know this sounds bad , so sorry but you should kill her . It would be best. Even if you splint the leg and keep her still for 4-6 weeks she will never be 100%. It isn't fair to do this to the hen. Again I am sorry about your hen and it is hard. Wishing you the best.

just post some pictures. we will help we know a lot around here

I use flea spray, but only a little under each wing and 1 spray on the tail. works good you can also use the all natural one for cats, it smells really good. Jeffers.com sells it.

An old german man told me to have the lights on all year. So that is what we do. LED christmas lights, use hardly any power and its on a timer. Some of the girls don't come in until almost dark so they like the light on.

Ahhh. The love of a chicken, in my case 50. At least they care when we come home.
