Congratulations on the eggs and the new marriage!!!!! I'm so happy for you. That all looks so delicious.

Poor girl. You have been given some good advice. Be very generous with the antibiotic ointment, especially with the deep puncture wound. You want to make sure it gets all the way down in the wound. The yellow wound seems like more fatty tissue than infection but give it a deep smell. If it...

Welcome. Glad you joined our flock. I can't help much on the cold weather, I live in Texas. If you got your information from this site, I'm sure your birds will be just fine. Lots of great experienced peeps on here, so just ask away.

How is she doing?

I would think she could go back with the flock if she is eating and drinking and you have cleaned and medicated her wounds. But be careful that the others won't peck her if her wounds are exposed. Also, make sure you check her all over, because sometimes they will have puncture wounds under...

I'm so sorry.

How is your chicke today?

I'm sorry no one has posted to this thread and I have never hatch my own chicks so I can't advise. But I think you are doing everything you know how to do to the best of your ability and I hope your chick survives. Best of luck. I subscribed to your post because I want you to succeed.

Poor girl. I hope she's alright. I would suggest also some type of antibiotic ointment like neosporin. Just make sure it doesn't have any "pain releif" in it. Blue-kote is fine too. Just keep it clean. Is she eating and drinking? That's very important.

Antibiotic ointment is good to use but make sure it doesn't have any pain relief medicine in it, like neosporin BUT NOT neosporin plus. Softball size wound sounds pretty large so it really needs to be kept clean. Sounds like something that large probably does need to be covered up but it's your...

And I bet it won't be your last go. Well, at least I hope it won't. Some more information might be helpful. First, what breed of chickens are they and do they free range? Also, my egg production is way down due to the polar vortex that came in last week. My girls got a real shock to their...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope someone on here can give you some insight on Flannery and why she passed. I'm wondering if it may have something to do her abdomen being larger than usual.

About a month ago I found a dog hanging w my chickens in the coop. Oh and she didn't hurt the chickens in any way. I think she just wanted shelter, food and water. Anyway, she she ran off and I have been trying to tame/catch her so I could call animal control. She is so skittish and won't...

I'm so sorry for your losses. I'm not sure but the chicken in the first picture looks like a dog attack. I have had dog attacks and my chicken looked like it was all wet where the dog continuously chased and bit her. A dog could have easily climbed the chain link fence but I don't think the...

I want to know, too. I hope he/she did.

So sorry for your loss. Glad you got the culprit. May I suggest putting that second picture on the "what's this chicken thinking" thread? Then she will live here on BYC forever. It's a very popular thread and it might bring you a few laughs.

You might check their diet. This happened to me when my chicks were a few months old. Mine needed extra protein. I would give them some scrambled eggs everyday for a couple of weeks and the pecking and eating feathers stopped. Good luck.

Welcome and make yourself at home. Everyone is so helpful, friendly and very knowledgable. So tell us a little about your flock and we all LOVE to see pictures of the fluffy butts.

Good job. If you are talking about an injectable antibiotic, I find them at my local feed store or even tractor supply. If you can find a livestock vet and establish a good relationship with them, they might give you some antibiotics even without seeing your animal. Check the use of the...

You must be doing something right since she is still with you. Great job. I think the answer to your question is more of a personal choice. Since you are the one taking care of her, only you can decide how long you want to try. Just keep an eye on that pecking thing with her sisters and...
