    MY CHIICKEN'S BACK WAS RIPPED OFF! Wound care advice needed

    She has a scab on her back. The flesh in the sides is growing back and feathers are coming. The other hens won't let her be close or sleep in the coop yet, but I believe that by the time it starts to cool here, she will be healed completely and they will let her back in the coop. I am leaving...

    I've finally trained him out of plucking feathers. It took a few days of being on top of him, but he's there.

    MY CHIICKEN'S BACK WAS RIPPED OFF! Wound care advice needed

    Thank you so much for sharing your real life experience. She was getting depressed without her friends. I let her hang out with them in the other side if the coop and she has been strengthening. Today with my sturdy pet bandage, I let her mingle outside the yard, successfully! I have her...

    The vet said it is most likely that the scab she had on her back was a tastey treat for her pen mates who probably cannibalize her.

    MY CHIICKEN'S BACK WAS RIPPED OFF! Wound care advice needed

    It was a little scary today. I think her body is working really hard to heal. I took the bandage of to find blue on the bandage and blue and green in her tissues! After doing a search, I encountered pictures from an old thread on here with a wound almost identical. The poster said this...

    MY CHIICKEN'S BACK WAS RIPPED OFF! Wound care advice needed

    I I am really unsure. The original wound was feom our dog pulling the feathers out, but her skin was there. If she did it, she ate an eight inch circle of her skin and fat off. Seems unlikely, but chickens are not bright. Yesterday I had her in the chicken yard to stretch with all the others...

    I would never breed any stock that isn't in rip rope shape. The prospect of hatching anything into an unwell environment can be a recipe for disaster as well. I bred Orpingtons foe years and problems tgat started in the brooder tend to remain. I never bred any bird that wasn't completely well...

    Yes. She is in a dog crate on my porch. Also, my coop is Forte Knox for getting in to. She just jumps out. I'm hoping after this, she will stop getting out on her own. We have a farm, so it's tantalizing to free range. She's alive today. We made it the first night 😊❤️😊

    Next steps for our recovering hen who had her wing ripped off by a coyote

    I really want to know how your hen does in regrowing that skin, if there is any update. I'm day 1 of a 6x6 inch area of missing skin and scared to death it won't end well. Please update with anything you can note about the progress of skin growth.
