One of my birds recently got attacked. I knew she had to be injured after being carried around in a dog's mouth like it was nothing more than a chew toy. We got very lucky that she didn't suffer worse injuries than a couple puncture wounds from the teeth that weren't very deep, some superficial skin scratches and the one I didn't see or know she had for 2 days. Normally I would do an Epsom soak to help clean the dirt and stuck on feathers but it was a guinea hen not a chicken. They do not tolerate much when it comes to being handled and I didn't want to stress her more. The one I missed was a fairly deep gash. Luckily it was in a spot where she had some extra meat on her. She's all healed up now and back to her old self. They heal so fast. It's amazing. There is a point to my too long story for a reply. Another reason I like to do the soak besides it helping with pain is because they've got a lot of feathers. Thank God too. They offer some protection between the mouth/teeth and their skin but they also conceal wounds, especially where they'repacked tightly together. Sometimes you don't or can't see everything right away. Plus prey birds will hide injuries so they aren't vulnerable to their flock. I'm not saying this is the case with your bird. I just wanted share my experience with you. I'm so glad your dad is a badass and your sweet girl is doing so well!

She is much better and her tail is up now! It has been for hours. She is eating, drinking, clucking and exploring. She seems eager to get back to the flock, can I let her back now?

Thank you! I definitely will stock up.

Guaze pads and epsom salt! For some reason I always need more.

My new dog loosened his leash once and attacked one of my girls, plucked get really good, she finally grew her feathers back six months later. Needless to say, he's always on a very short leash. We adopted him from city folk, they didn't know he had a huge prey drive.

I've got a hen that survived a fox somehow. It ripped her neck practically in half. When her feathers grew back they grew back gray. She's a Buff Orpington so it blends in well.

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I have been absent for a while, life has been quite busy! So she is still a little swollen at the site of the cut, but it looks like it is healing. I will try to get a picture later. Thank you so much for all the help everyone!

Hello everyone! Here are the pictures I was able to get….

Great! That is really exciting. She is acting pretty good, maybe a little more quite then she typically is, and she is roosting on the other side of the coop. Before the attack she always likes to be in a big pile with all the other chickens but she is kinda being a loner now. Is that ok? She was one of the top hens but a couple days away from the flock really knocked her down.

So glad that she is doing much better and healing. When they are gone from the flock for more than a few days, the pecking order can be changed.

So is a wound from a bobcat different from a domestic cat wound? It has always been my understanding that any bite or scratch from a cat requires immediate oral antibiotics due to the bacteria in a cat's mouth.
