    Hi, I have a quail, with a large wound on the back of its head. So far I've put a very diluted amount of TCP and water solution on it, along with flour to help stop the bleeding. What else should I do. It's under a heat lamp inside, so no other will attack it. Thanks, eggsrcool

    Limping Hen- Rooster Damage? Any ideas please!

    Hi, I have a farmyard hen that I noticed was limping this morning. I let them out a few hours later than I normally do. Her back is bare, and there are some feathers missing, so I think it might be rooster damage. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions as to how I could go about treating her.
