brahma picking wound/ feathers, please help

[artsygirl]

My brahma that was injured by the others is pecking her feathers and eating them and she opened her wound more through the skin. She might be picking herself or ripped it open when she flaps her wing to try to get away from me. I've put triple antibiotic cream on it and wrapped her wound and put antipeck lotion on it and her. What would stop the feather eating? Can I give her tuna for extra protein, maybe egg yolk? Would closing most of the wound with super glue then no pick lotion on it? I'm kind of at a loss here and :shrug: not sure where to go from here.

I would tryh putting a baby T shirt over her or make a hen apron that covers the wound. Maybe try some Nustock cream on it which is soothing and bad tasting.

How much Nustock cream? I've got some coming to our house tomorrow.

Just rub a thin coat on the skin. It can be difficult to squeeze out of the tube, so some will put it in a clean jar and stir it up well. It has pine oil and sulfur powder which is antifungal, and many use it to heal abrasions and to prevent pecking.
