Is Heddy the other chicken? If so, she might continue to pick at it and that is not good. That skin is very fragile to injury and the sun. Some ointment is fine, but be aware if she's outside a fair bit now, or a lot, ointments will act like suntanning oil and increase the chances the new skin...

I'm so glad for the update and to read that she's got a hearty appetite again. You both are doing a great job! (...and Miss Rebel is training you guys very well for future spoiling...🥰 )

I think of her every time I look at my young roo's naked spot on his neck. In a few months you will be the one smiling over bald spots. :D

I'm so glad to hear things may be looking up for her. And that she ate better too.

I second the Vetericyn. Like I mentioned before it's what I used on my young roo with the same type of injury, but I've also used it on lots of other farm animals for a variety of boo boos and injuries. It's good stuff, moisturizing, non-stinging, and will help things heal. Honey- I have used...

I don't think a little oatmeal would hurt her, but if she's only ever gotten chicken feed up until now just a little bit. Sudden diet changes would probably not be helpful. You could give her some mashed up hard boiled egg, or mix it with some feed that's softened with warm water. It might be...

Glad to hear you found what you needed! We are rooting for her and you!

I looked to see if I had any current pics of him sporting his bald spot but I don't. It basically just looks like he got a bad haircut or only one spot on his body decided to molt to nakedness while the rest didn't.

A little bit. Mine stayed outside though so it could be it was stronger than I was able to detect because I didn't put my face near to him (he's not nice.) Vetericyn has moisturizing properties so while I agree on keeping things moist, it could be that keeping things too goopy or soggy may...

Just to offer some comfort... I had a 4 to 5 month cockerel go the same type of injury last summer. It appeared that a racoon got a handful of him through the fence and left this type of injury, or a degloving. The entire right side of his neck, top to bottom and halfway around. Everything was...
