Do you think theres a chance it might heal on its own? Especially if its just a scratch. Hopefully not Mycoplasma or something he contracted from her chickens.
I offered to go to tractor supply and buy the $31 terramycin and bring it over to her. Honestly, he was a healthy bird before he went to her place. I gave him to her and I’ve never heard of someone wanting to return a rehomed rooster to a previous owner. Although it hurts my heart that he’s got...

Help! This morning when the sun came up I went to feed my chickens and I had a hen down on the ground in the run. It appears she never made it into the coop at dark last night. I was able to pick her right up and bring her inside (she normally won’t let me). She’s lethargic and weak. She’s...
