Noob here. Have 7, 7 week old chickens that I ordered and picked up at the local hatchery. Ordered 6 pullets as follows - 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Black Australorp, 1 Easter Egger, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte. The hatchery threw in the seventh.
First which breed is this...
From the first picture it looks like the mark is sunken in. If so that is most likely from the steroid which was injected. This will usually return to normal by 3 months.
The redness will also take some time but will also fade.
As far as over the counter scar treatments, they don't work...
Hi,
My daughter wanted some chickens, they arrive tomorrow. We have been busy preparing the land to make a coop (what I wouldn't give to live on flat land.). This web site has been a great source of info.
