    Mama Hen Badly Hurt

    This is her wounds as of this morning. I’ve been spraying the vetricyn 2-3 times per day. She seems to be on the mend. She can’t fully walk yet. Not sure if it’s bc she’s missing her feathers or if her leg is injured. It’s like something grabbed her and tried to pull her up or away ☹️

    Mama Hen Badly Hurt

    The skin was gone. It’s like something grabbed her from the back and yanked. All her feathers and a layer of skin is gone. It looks pretty bad. Worried about the feathers coming back. We have a LGD but she’s only 6 months old so not protecting yet. More worried the rooster may have got her but...

    Mama Hen Badly Hurt

    I used the vertimicin from TS. It’s been great and I have her in the garage secluded and I sprinkled coffee grounds around her bin to help ward off ants. She’s doing a good job keeping the flies away. The wound has a layer of dried skin. So hopefully healing can begin. She’s not putting much...

    Mama Hen Badly Hurt

    She’s hanging in there. I’ve been giving her scrambled eggs, cantaloupe and water. She’s been quite the pampered bird but she deserves it! She even laid an egg yesterday! All of her feathers and skin were ripped out. Do you know what got ahold of yours? Surely my roo didn’t do this? I’ve been...

    No she’s not. She’s just our regular layer. She’s one of the oldest in the flock so I call her mama hen.

    Mama Hen Badly Hurt

    we locked the girls up last night and assumed Bennie Sue was in the back. She wasn’t. Went out this morning to let them out and she’s laying by a tree with half her back missing. I took her in the garage and rinsed the wound with warm water and covered the entire area with neosporin. I’ve...

    Yes I can bend the knee. I used some paper tape and lightly taped it to stay bent. Is that good or bad (saw it on YouTube)

    Injured baby duck

    Hey there! Love Chicago! I will upload a video to YouTube so you can see her. I think she could stand if she tried but that back leg has her off balance. She can only turn in circles. I’ve been lifting her to water and putting food in my hand for her. She just a baby ☹️ I’ll post the link when...

    Injured baby duck

    I’m unsure. I’ve never had ducks before. I’d think maybe splayed? I just want the help the poor baby.

    Hi everyone ! Brand new duck mom here. We bought 2 yesterday from tractor supply and the guy gave us an extra one free saying it wasn’t going to make it . One leg works fine but the other sticks straight out behind it. It can’t stand. It scoots around and chirps ☹️ I thought placing it in water...
