    Simple eyelid injury turned bad! Help!!

    My chicken got a simple injury (I think she was scratched by something) to her lower eyelid externally. I quarantined her and the next day it was looking great. Then she started scratching at it. It got increasingly worse no matter what I did. I even made her a cone so she could scratch it any...

    Week old chick screaming, twisting/untwisting neck, fluid leaking from mouth

    I think that's the hardest part. These were replacement chicks after an abandoned dog got into our yard and murdered our whole flock of 6 week olds. I still don't know how the dog got into the coop. But we did build a bigger, heavier duty one just in case it was the coops failt. My poor kids are...

    Hens skin on neck sliced wide open on fence

    I had a rooster rip a flap of skin up on the back of one of my hens necks. I used a collagen gel (looks like Neosporin) and just wiped it on there. Healed just fine. I have also used vetricyn spray on a dog bite wound with success. Both can be found at tractor supply or probably a feed store...
