    Just another update on my scalped chicken! We've named her Twitter after the pretty little twittering songs she sings for us. She's doing AMAZING!!! She's bright-eyed, full of energy and personality. I think I mentioned before, she's back out in the garage so she can talk to the other...

    Hi again, everyone. Thanks for all the good support. We went off the neosporin for a bit before I got the recommendation to keep doing it, so her skin is a little dried out, but otherwise she's doing well. We moved her tote out to the garage the other night and she's doing great. I let her...

    Thanks everyone! Does anyone have any advice as to whether I should continue with the Neosporin or not? I thought the neosporin was mainly for infection protection, but the skin around the wound has gotten a little dried out without the neosporin on it. Is that okay? I have recent photos and...

    Just a quick update as my computer has been down all day and I'm on a borrowed laptop. Little chickie (don't have a name for her yet) had her right eye partially opened when I got home last night. Still can't tell if she can see through that one, but she definitely has sight in the left. She...

    Great News!!! Wes wiped little chickies eyes down this afternoon and she opened her left eye. When I got home she still had her eye open and when I went to feed her it was obvious she could see! yay!!! Then, later tonight, when I was trying to give her a little bit of water, she sat right...

    Thanks again and again and again, everyone! It means so much that everyone is so supportive. Went home at lunch at gave the chick some water and yogurt. DH put crumbles in for her but I don't think she can see them. I tried crumbles in the yogurt and she just doesn't seem to know how to peck...

    Another update on my scalped chick. She ate quite a bit of yogurt last night and drank both pedialite and plain water. I held her in my arms for about a half hour, letting her soak up the body heat and just talking to her and soothing her. She seemed to enjoy it. She chirped at us several...

    Thanks, everyone. So far she's hanging in there - and a lot better than I would be if I were in the same condition! She is one tough little chick. And I have to tell you all, I am so blessed with such an understanding husband. He's been right there, helping me give her food and drink and...

    Thanks, Ruth, for the info on stitching. It does look like the skin is rolled a little at the back of the head. I tried lifting it and it did a little although it was a bit dried out (prior to another application of neosporin) and she started jerking and fighting. I'm not sure if it's there's...

    Hi everyone. Sorry I'm just posting back to this. I had an early morning meeting that I just got back from. We got the fresh neosporin and some pedialite and yogurt last night. Coated her skull and the skin edges with neosporin. Chickenfortress, I don't see any skin that can be stiched up...

    Thank you both! We pulled her out and wrapped her in a towel and put her in a tote with a blanket. We tried to give her some water but she didn't want it right now. Wil give it a bit. I'll go get fresh neosporin from Wal-mart and some pedialite and yogut. If I remember right, no "caine"...

    One of my 4 week olds got into the pen with the 8 week olds and we didn't realize it. I went out to water them and she was sitting there with all the skin missing off her skull. She's still alive, but the blood is not free flowing, so it's been awhile. Her eyes don't appear damaged but the...
