    A hole in the back of chicken neck

    I think you're right. I will try the plastic with the antibiotic ointment idea. I think that's a good one. I'll let you know how this works. Thanks!

    A hole in the back of chicken neck

    Ok thanks, I will put triple antibiotic ointment on it. I've posted some pictures. I'm thinking I will just give her water now and quit feeding for a day too.

    A hole in the back of chicken neck

    I will try to get a photo. The cut is about 1 1/2 inches long and very deep but not wide. She is drinking. I have given her electrolytes too. It's been 3 days with no improvement (healing) The water (and food) that keeps coming out seems to be preventing its healing. The vet wrap I have but I am...

    A hole in the back of chicken neck

    Hello, So my chicken was attacked by another chicken ( presumably my rooster but I did not see it) and she now has a hole in the side of her neck. When she eats and drinks, a good portion comes pouring out of this hole. I have tried to keep it clean, I keep putting iodine and hydrogen peroxide...

    Update Our girl is still alive. I bought a 18 mm needle and 35 cc syringe and took some fluid out of her belly. She is still draining. The fluid was mostly yellow but a little greenish too. The last bits of drain is tinged with blood. I have given her antibiotics and she has eaten some. She is...

    Sick chicken

    This morning I notice that bone in the middle of her chest is protruding quite a bit. Is that the bone I am looking for?

    Sick chicken

    Ok the swelling is more between legs and not really either in front or behind. I put a latex glove on and put my finger in her vent and couldnt feel any hardness at all, so I don't think she has a stuck egg. This has been going on for almost 2 weeks now. I think she would have passed by now if...

    Sick chicken

    She ate the mash and egg vigorously! I don't know if we have any avian vets in the area. I will check around. She is in good spirits but still no energy. I don't know how to look for the keel bone. We are in Florida and just exiting our wet season. Soggy compost is a possibility. How much...
