Broken beak?!?!? Help!!

[MCchickies]

Today my 6 month old plolish rooster attacked my 5 month old Silkie mix…. I went out to check on the chickens and he was on top of her pinning her down and pecking her at her face. I kicked the rooster off and now have him separated in a kennel from the rest of my flock……. I’ve been trying to rehome him, he’s just way too big for my flock

Her eye is so swollen and beak looks broken/shifted - she looks horrible….. she still wants to eat and drink but definitely very docile at the moment (she usually never lets you pick her up) do I put her down?

Could this have happened because my other silkie and Polish hen just started laying??? They’ve all been together for over 3 months with no issues at all. My heart is absolutely broken right now

Her beak may be like that because her face is swollen.

I’ve started putting antibiotic drops in the eye

It looks like a sinus infection. Is a vet an option?

I think you are correct.

I actually work at a vet clinic but she doesn’t specialize in chickens. Only large animal vet and small animal vet

She said I could do some research and if I needed anything she can order it in for me.

Only downfall is with labour day weekend we’re not back in office until Tuesday

Can they get you some Baytril?

Or Bactrim. I use this on my ducks for infection. Terramycin for the eye.

Yea I actually have injectable baytril at my house right now that I got for using on my past rabbit

Should I do baytril tablets or injection. I have tobramycin drops I’ve been using. Didn’t want to use an antibiotic and steroid incase the eye got scratched and ulcerated
