    Wound on Chicken Face

    HELP! chick scalped & skull exposed (GRAPHIC)

    My hen hatched some chicks the other day without us knowing. When we saw her with them we started scanning the yard for any that might have gotten stuck anywhere and we found a little one standing on top of a wood pile super still and barely chirping. I nudged them a little and they gave some...
