    Yellow Skin around Cut- Infection?

    Elvis is an almost 2 year old naked neck, who had a smallish (but looks like it might have been deep) cut on her neck which went unnoticed for a few days after an attack in our coop last week. Because it's a spot usually covered with feathers, and because we had another hen with an obvious very...

    Severely Cut Neck- Put her down?

    Well so far, so good. She's still in good spirits and eating and drinking normally. We've cleaned out the wound and applied antibacterial ointment every day since it happened, and there doesn't seem to be any infection. I'm thinking of super gluing the skin closed in a day or two, now that I'm...

    Severely Cut Neck- Put her down?

    Something attacked our hens last night. One is missing with tons of feathers left behind and this one, Ella, has a pretty bad cut on her neck. The cut is long, but doesn't seem to be terribly deep. One thing that is very worrying is the clear sack (what is that?) that is sticking out at the...

    Pullet with Crop full of Water

    Hello everyone, I'm hoping for some advise. I have an 8/9 week old white orpington pullet who I noticed on Monday night seemed a little lethargic and when I picked her up noticed she had a crop full of water. As I picked her up, some drops of water also came out of her mouth. From what I've...

    A MIRACLE TREATMENT FOR SOUR CROP ????!!!

    I am having the same problem with sour crop now. I was planning on trying yogurt tonight, but after reading this I think I'll get some Kefir instead. I think in Austin, Texas you can get it at a number of places such as Whole Foods and Central Market. I imagine the best place to start...

    Hi guys, I just wanted to update and say that Ella is fine. Her cut healed quickly and easily and you cannot even see a scar. Here are a couple of pictures. Oh and thanks for your concern, and advice!

    New here and Hen has a cut on her neck. Help appreciated.

    Things are looking good. Yesterday I spent the day fixing her up. We initially decided to do stitches because I was afraid the area was too mobile and the super glue method wouldnt work, but the only suchers I could find to buy in town had a huge, thick needle (probably meant for horses or...

    New here and Hen has a cut on her neck. Help appreciated.

    Thank you for the replies! I'm pretty worried about her. She is isolated for the night, I've cleaned the wound with peroxide and put some neosporin on it and am going to get some sutchers for her in the morning. Stitching it closed is the best thing to do, right? I plan on stitching the...

    Hen has a cut on neck, Help!

    Hi guys, I'm new to the group and new to owning chickens. I've had mine for a few weeks and got them as 1 year old layers from a friend. Today I went out to check on them/ work on their new coop and noticed something weird on one of my naked necks. She seems to have a large gash or cut on...
