I found a new home for my rooster even if I have regrets, the hens do seem less cranky. I put up some toys and a new dust bath to keep them busy. The slightly injured hen I kept with the flock and she seems to have adjusted to having a saddle on. Her wound is healing and once her feathers grow...

Oh no offence taken! I'm just thankful for this group and people taking the time read and help :)

I am giving her electrolyte in her water but should i only do that a couple of times of daily until she is better? I also read they need more protein if they need to regrow lots of feathers. Should i perhaps supplement with high protein treats?

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I'm feeling better about being able to handle this situation now that I have several things lined up. I didnt respray on her but the wound looked a bit better today so I assume it must have worked on some level and they didn't peck more at her. She...

This is the second bird that was injured a bit. I put the peck away spray on her last evening and i added a saddle today and it covers the raw are at thr base of her tail. She spends her time trying to get it off however and the rooster seems to think she's a nee girl and does his little dance...

Yes i cleaned it today. I also got some 'stop pick liquid' I found at my shur gain store and used it on the 'slighty' pecked second chicken to see if that would work before removing her.

Update: here is a better picture of bird 1. I now have another brown hen being bullied and i see a start of a wound(see second pic). I am guessing it started the same way for the first injured bird. Ive decided to get rid of my wonderful rooster(waiting on someone to rehome him). I havent seen...

Yes she is comfortable in the hospital coop with lots of straw and i put the heat lamp. The pics arent the greatess no, she is quite scared of me now and stands at an odd angle whenever she gets up (i assume because of pain. She has lots of dried blood and scabs and nothing is oozing. I will get...

Do you use anything specific other than saline to clean?

Thank you!

I will try and get a picture tomorrow. I decided to put a heat lamp aiming at part of the coop i have her in and she is resting next to it. Crossing fingers. The attached picture is the coop she is in in the garage so she is warmer. I exclusively use this if I need to isolate any hens.

Help!! I have 5 Plymouth barred rocks (1 is rooster) and 3 bovin brown. The brown girls are my first birds and i introduced the other ones in the spring. It wasnt easy transition but they eventually all got along except the brown stay together and the plymouth stay together. I havent checked...
