She lost a bit of blood. I currently have her separated and inside the house. How do I care for the wound and how...

    Head injury on rooster

    We just rescued 7 roosters a few days ago and it seems that 6 of them think that the 7th is a hen. This does make sense because none of them have ever seen a hen. This poor guy has a huge hard bump on the top of his head where the other roosters keep trying to grab him when they attempt to mount...

The one remaining was unfortunately shrink wrapped which is disappointing enough and another has what seems to be an opening in it’s skull? Some sort of an encephalitis? I can’t tell if it’s head is the proper size compared to the...

    (Warning photos attached) Head injury on chick caused by older chicks and hen - worried about brain

    Hi! I recently had a couple chicks hatch in the coop and I found one with a slight head injury so I brought it inside. It somehow wiggled itself into the older chicks side of the brooder and they attacked it while I was out. The wound is pretty significant. They pecked at the entire head and it...
