This is always such a traumatizing experience for chicks and their owners. I just found out that two of my chicks had gotten pecked violently on their heads and was so sad when I saw their scalps. One was so bad, it looked like their was a piece of flesh missing from the lower back of his head.
After cleaning and applying neosporin, I Blu-Koted it and I now have the two siblings put safely away inside a basket next to me. They were fine and have been wanting to get out, but I think they need a little food/water and sleep so they can start to heal up. This has happened before to some of our chicks and it's always sad, but my babies are so resilient. They're little troopers!
I'm not necessarily happy that other people have had to go through this, but it is comforting to know that my chickens aren't simply Satan's spawn. I hope everyone's chicks are doing well!
