Chick scalped by (Hen?) *bloody pics*

[GasMenagerie]

They only honey I have is average store honey and likely crystalized. But I will certainly head out in the morning and get some. Couldn't hurt.

Tomorrow I will make some chick crumble mash and see if he'll try a meal worm.

I want to know which hen did this. I need to cull some non-productive old girls, but have been a softie. That will end when I find my guilty party.

My little roo is much improved this morning. He's eating and drinking, chirping and standing. Huzzah!

Great! That is just what my hen did!!!!!! Your in the road to succes!!! Now just put Neosporin on it so no infection acures an keep applying it. Ok an by looking by the pics he has lost some feathers on his back an his skin is showing. Put Neosporin on that skin to be uses its like if somebody plucked your hair neosporin will make his back feel better an it will heal the plucked skin an it will scab up then flake off an feathers should grow back with proper diet

Good update! The resiliency of these birds when recovering from grievous skin wounds never ceases to amaze me.
