Chicken pecked nearly to death - help

[Wyorp Rock]

It's not too cold for chickens

That's what I was planning on, just not sure if it's too cold for her outside during the day or not.

Well, how cold is it?

You can supply her with deep bedding or straw outside.

Like I said, it's not too cold for my other chickens, I'm just not sure if the cold temperature would affect her recovery or not. If she were healthy, I wouldn't be worried about her staying outside, she's just still a little weak and I don't want to risk anything.

Thanks for everyone's help. I've never had any real chicken injuries before and don't know what to do.

Then put her in the garage if she's weak.

I have a polish that got pecked on the head. I have her and another polish separated, and last night I had a hen that got her foot caught on the fence. Since she was limping she is also with them in a separate pen.

Her wounds have all scabbed over - would you put her back with the other birds? Right now she's in the run and they're in the coop, but if they wanted to go into the run or she wanted to go into the coop they could. So they're separated, but not sure how long it will last for. I can also keep her sectioned off like I've been doing, I'm just not sure if it's necessary or not.

I'm a bit confused.
About 24hrs ago, you posted she is weak.
She's had her wound reopened, likely from being pecked through the wire or possibly she may have hung it up herself in the wire and opened it back up.

The wound may be scabbed, but it's going to attract picking with it looking like that.
Flush the wound. Apply ointment.
If she's weak, then see that she's drinking and eating well. Give supportive care vitamins that contain E and B1. Extra protein like egg, meat or fish can be supplied every couple of days as well.

She was scalped by the others, not sure why. Sometimes it happens because of squabbling, sometimes dominance, sometimes because one is not well to begin with, sometimes because there's a tiny injury and there's pecking, sometimes you just don't know why at all, and things happen.

Bottom line is she needs to be healed, fit and able to defend herself when she's back in the general population.

1st photo is from yesterday, last photo is from Wed. which was 5 days ago. Not a huge between the 2. It does take time for wounds to heal, but it looks like it's slow going here.
Personally, I'd tend to that wound, get her healthy and not rush things.
My 2¢

Can you post pictures of your run? Some strategically placed clutter would help the lowest birds to get away from bullies also another location with food and water would also help. I have two benches in my run with one bench has a wide board to create a hiding place, there is food there, I also have. A small dish with food on the second bench and a waterer in the corner. I also have a single bucket with bricks on top for traction, and perching places on different corners so there's additional places for the lowest one to run away.

I saw that one but it looked too far away to see what the inside looked like, the only close up was of the feeder.
